Discover Remote Button
The Discover Remote function allows performing Ethernet tests in
conjunction with a second test set (unit) by either scanning and
connecting to any available EXFO Datacom remote unit or connecting to a
third party remote device in loopback mode. The remote unit is used to
loop back the traffic; for an EXFO unit it could be via Smart Loopback or
Dual Test Set (DTS) for simultaneous bidirectional RFC 2544, or EtherSAM
results.
Note: Only available with single-port EtherSAM, EtherBERT, RFC 2544, and
Traffic Gen & Mon test applications.
Remote Module Type
Allows selecting the loopback type for EtherSAM, EtherBERT, RFC 2544,
and Traffic Gen & Mon test applications. For other test applications, this
setting is forced to EXFO.
EXFO (default), see Remote Modules Discovery (EXFO)
Third-Party Loopback, see Remote Modules Discovery (3rd Party
Loopback) on page 383
Remote Modules Discovery (EXFO)
Target defines how to perform the scan to discover remote units.
Subnet indicates to perform the scan based on the current subnet.
Specific IP indicates to perform the scan for a specific remote unit
IP address. Enter the IP address of the target unit.
Quick Ping tests if the destination IP address can be reached. A
message displays if the ping attempt is Successful or Failed.
Scan button scans the subnet or a specific IP (see Target) to discover
remote EXFO compatible unit(s).
