Generation and detection of test patterns. Count of errors in received test
pattern. Pattern generation:
Unframed (layer 1)
Framed with Ethernet (MAC) header (layer 2)
Framed with Ethernet (MAC) header and IP header (layer 3)
Framed with Ethernet (MAC) header, IP header and UDP/TCP header
(layer 4)
Test patterns:
PRBS 9, PRBS 11, PRBS 15, PRBS 20, PRBS 23, PRBS 29, PRBS 31, HF test
pattern, CRPAT, JTPAT, SPAT
User-defined up to 32 bits. Length in step of 1 bit.
Detection of sequence errors and loss of sequence synchronization.
Frame loss count and frame loss seconds.
Throughput measurement: Maximum/Minimum/Average values are
presented.
Test resolution
User-defined up to resolution:
1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 sec, 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours
No intervals
Throughput may be calculated on 6 different layers:
Utilization layer
Physical layer
Physical layer excl. preamble
Link layer
Network layer
Data layer
Can be activated as part of the BER test:
Maximum/Average service disruption time, resolution 0.1 μsec
Number of service disruptions
For connectivity and configuration check.
Round Trip Time (RTT)
Supports IPv4 addressing
Answer incoming Ping requests (On/Off)
