About SAMComplete
SAMComplete functionality is standard on all units and all
Ethernet line rates supported except IPv6 applications.
Although all applications do not include SAMComplete func-
tionality, if your instrument is appropriately configured for a
capable application, you can use it to run the SAMComplete
test.
This is a Ethernet Service Activation test Methodology (SAM)
for multiple streams based on ITU-T Y.1564. It performs a two-
phase test. First, the test verifies whether each service is
properly configured by transmitting them individually. Second,
multiple service instances are transmitted simultaneously, at
its assigned Committed Information Rate (CIR) and perfor-
mance is validated by ensuring all SLA parameters (FDV,
FTD, RTD and Availability) are met.
The test involves the following steps:
– Enable SAMCompete
– Specify test, network and service settings
– Run the test
– Parse test data and provide graphical results
Enabling SAMComplete
Before specifying settings, you must enable the SAMCom-
plete test.
To enable the SAMComplete test
1 If you haven’t already done so, launch the Layer 2 or
Layer 3 Traffic Terminate or Multiple Stream Terminate
application for the circuit you are testing.
2 Press the Configure navigation key.
