Test Configurator Overview
Physical Interface Port indicates the physical interface port. For
Dual Port topology, there is a physical interface for each port.
The status icon for a physical CFP4/CFP8/OSFP/QSFP interface is
displayed as described in Port Status above.
Connection, available with iOptics, graphically represents the
connection used for the test. For AOC, the cable length is also
displayed.
Arrows are used to indicate the interconnection between blocks as
well as the direction of the clock and data flow.
A line with an arrow on both ends indicates a bidirectional
communication (TX/RX).
A line with a single arrow indicates a unidirectional
communication, either TX when going out of a block or RX
(or RX2) when going into a block. RX2 indicates the physical
BNC TX/RX2 port.
A line going out of a block returning back to the same block,
indicates a loopback communication.
Physical Clock Port indicates the direction, TX or RX, of the
selected clock; not displayed when Ext Clock Out is set to None.
The arrow next to the physical clock image indicates if a clock is
generated (TX, arrow pointing to the left) or received (RX, arrow
pointing to the right) at/from the physical EXT CLK port.
Physical External Reference Port indicates the port, signal, and
direction (RX) of the selected external reference signal.
Interface Block displays an overview of the interface settings and
status. Tap on the interface block to change the settings and to see
detailed status. For Dual Port topology, there is an interface block
for each port.
