3 Use the left and right arrow keys to go to the Link Init
menu, and then specify the settings required to initialize
an Ethernet link (see “Initializing the link for Ethernet
testing” on page 47).
4 If you are transmitting multiple streams of layer 3 or
layer 4 traffic, go to the IP Init menu, and then specify the
settings required to establish an IPoE connection (see
“Establishing an IPoE connection for IPv4 traffic” on
page 122).
5 Specify the settings that will apply to every enabled
stream, enable the streams you want to transmit, and
configure the traffic loads (see “Enabling streams and
specifying the traffic load” on page 183).
6 Configure the streams (see “Configuring traffic streams”
on page 187).
7 Press the Home key to return to the Summary Results
screen.
8 Press the Action soft key again, and then select
Start Traffic.
The HST-3000 transmits the traffic streams.
– If you are transmitting multiple layer 3 IP or layer 4 TCP/
UDP streams, and you enabled ARP Mode, actions will
not be available until all enabled streams ARP success-
fully.
– If you indicated that you wanted to use a DHCP server to
obtain IP addresses for each stream, actions will not be
available until an IP address is assigned to each stream.
– If your action buttons are not available, you can determine
whether ARP or DHCP was successful by observing the
IP Config test results (see “IP Config results” on
page 294).
For details on ARP and DHCP settings, see
“Establishing an
IPoE connection for IPv4 traffic” on page 122.
