The configuration options available in the setup area of the screen are
described below. The status information is described in a separate section.
Incoming Frames
Respond to PAUSE frame
Selecting this check box will force the transmitter to pause for a short period
of time if a pause frame (defined in IEEE 802.3x) is received, e.g. in case of
congestion of the foreign receiver.
Answer incoming Arp requests
When this function is enabled, the Network Master will reply to incoming ARP
requests, using the Source MAC and IP addresses in sending out replies.
Note that when using the Ping application, this setting is ignored, and replies
will always be sent - also from the passive port.

Receiver Setup
Expected preamble length
Allows you to specify the preamble length that the receiver should consider
as 'normal' that is, non-erroneous). The default setting is 8 bytes. The range
is from 3 to 15 bytes.
Ignore preamble violations
Select this check box if you want to ignore preamble violations.
IFG lower threshold
Allows you to specify the minimum allowed receiver interframe gap. The
default setting is 12 bytes. The range is from 8 to 15 bytes.
Filter IFG violations caused by master/slave clock synchronization
Applies only to Gigabit mode, where the IFG will not be constant, which leads
to a larger number of IFG violated frames than expected. Select this function
to hide those violations.
Jumbo frame size upper limit
Allows you to specify the size of the Jumbo frames (that is, Ethernet frames
longer than 1518 that are not counted as oversized/erroneous). The default
setting is 9018 bytes. The range is from 1519 to 16000 bytes.
It is possible to let the Port 2 copy the setup from Port 1 by touching the Follow
button. When this button is displayed in green, Port 2 continues to follow Port 1
change. This button appears when the Port 1 settings can be copy to Port 2.
Miscellaneous
Allow changes to interface setup while a test is running
Select this check box if you want to be able to make changes to the
interface setup during a measurement.
Compatible pattern with CMA3000
Select this check box if you want the PRBS pattern for CMA3000
compatibility. (CMA3000 is the previous model of Network Master Pro.)
Compatible configuration frames with CMA3000 and V2.X or older
