If you are testing on an unswitched network, you establish a
hard loopback at the far end of the circuit, and then transmit
and loop traffic back to the HST for analysis. See
Figure 10.
If you are testing on a switched network, a second HST, or
another JDSU Ethernet test set (such as the SmartClass
Ethernet Tester, FST-2802, or MTS-8000 Transport Module)
must be connected to the network at the far end, and a soft
