Configuring your test

HST-3000 Ethernet Testing User’s Guide
The settings and the values for the settings vary
depending on the current application and test mode.
For example, if you launched a 10/100/1G Electrical appli-
cation, and you are running the test in Layer 2 Traffic
mode, the Error menu only allows you to specify whether
you want to insert a single FCS error, or a burst of FCS
errors into the traffic stream. If you are running the same
test in Layer 3 Traffic mode, you can select FCS,
IP Checksum, or Acterna Payload errors for insertion.
3 To change a setting, do the following:
a If the setting you need to change appears on the
Summary Settings menu, proceed to step c.
b If the setting you need to change does not appear on
the Summary Settings menu, use the left and right
arrow keys on your keypad to scroll through the avail-
able configuration menus. For example, if you want to
specify the quanta for pause frames, scroll to the Link
Init configuration menu.
c Press the number corresponding to the setting you
want to change, and then select or type the value for
the setting as appropriate.
If you type the value for a setting (such as a Destination
IP address), OK stores the new value. Cancel returns
you to the configuration menu without storing the new
value.
Basic test settings are specified. For detailed instructions on
configuring the remaining settings, see one of the following
chapters:
–
Chapter 2 “Running Cable Diagnostics”
– Chapter 3 “Ethernet Testing”
– Chapter 4 “IP Testing”
TIP:
If you know which menu the setting is on, you can also
press the Settings soft key to select the menu.
