? Web Performance – Performance test that simulates the size
and payload of typical internet packets.
? IP Video Performance – Performance test that simulates the
size and payload of typical IP video applications.
Note: IP Video is not the same as CATV
broadband video. This test is useful to test twisted
pair links that will be used to support IP cameras
for security applications.
? DHCP – When connected to active Ethernet networks the
display handset will locate a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server and request an IP address from
the server. The data displayed is: SIGNALTEK’s IP address, IP
address of the DHCP server, the IP address of the network
router, IP subnet, and the name of the internet service provider
(ISP).
? Ping – Displays the results of the ping test when SIGNALTEK
is connected to an active Ethernet network. The user can
choose the target IP address to ping, the packet size, the
number of packets to send, the delay between packets, and
the failure threshold.
Cable Types
SIGNALTEK is compatible with a variety of cable types and
configurations. Cable Performance tests can be run on any type of
twisted pair cable that supports Ethernet. Since 10/100 Ethernet
requires a minimum of two pairs to operate, cables with only one
pair cannot be tested for Ethernet performance, this includes coax
cable types.
When performing a Cable Performance test it is important to
consider the physical wiring requirements of Ethernet. If the cable
is not wired in a compatible manner, the Cable Performance test
will be unable to run since an Ethernet link cannot be established.
