100BaseT Transmitter Test assesses transmit power, transmit
SNR (non-linear distortion), and transmitter power spectral
distortions from 20KHz to 100MHz. Measurements are made
on Pair 2 and/or Pair 3 depending upon MDI / MDI-X connectivity
support.
mdi Run test only on Pair 2 with DUT configured as MDI.
mdi-x Run test only on Pair 3 with DUT configured as MDI-X.

Bulk Crosstalk
1000BaseT Transmitter Test assesses transmit power, transmit
SNR (non-linear distortion), transmitter power spectral distortions
from 20KHz to 100MHz, bulk return loss, bulk crosstalk, and pair
timing skew. Measurements are made on Pairs 1-4 (or Pair
Groups 12 – 34 for crosstalk). DUT is configured to both
MASTER and SLAVE unless otherwise specified.
master Run test with DUT configured as MASTER only.
slave Run test with DUT configured as SLAVE only.

Analyzes a 10BaseT Receiver under an array of impairments
and impairment combinations. Measurement method may be
specified as Link Monitor or Packet Flow. Link Monitor will
assess link stability over a period of ~20 seconds per impairment
condition, then report “UP” if link is >99% available or “DOWN” if
less available. Requires just a single DUT connection.
Packet Flow will report as percent of (line rate) packets received
and forwarded. Packet flow requires two test port connections to
a switch or hub type of DUT unless loopback is specified.
link_mon Assess stressed receiver performance using Link
Monitor. This is the default meter. Note: There is no
assurance that an “UP” indication means the port will forward
some or all traffic. A “DOWN” indication means it will not
forward all traffic.
packets Assess stressed receiver performance using Packet
Flow. This requires that 2 (or more) test ports be connected to
a DUT that is either a switch or a hub. The default setup is to
connect both test ports of a test blade to the DUT in order to
perform packet testing.
rx slot,port Specify a non-default test port slot,port for receiving
packets to count given a packet flow measurement. Default
test port is always the calibration partner port, that is the other
test port on the same test blade.
count pkts Specify a non-default packet count for Packet Flow
testing. Default is 128K packets. Range is 32K, 128K, 512K,
1024K, 5120K, or 10240K packets.
rate line Packet flow to run at line rate (minimum packet gap).
rate slow Packet flow to run at slower rate (1136 bit packet
gaps).
size min Packet flow to run with 64 byte packets.
size med Packet flow to run with 512 byte packets.
size max Packet flow to run with 1516 byte packets.
loopback Transmit to and receive packets from same DUT port.
Requires DUT port that supports MAC frame loopback mode.
mdi Test DUT in MDI configuration only. Default is to test both
MDI and MDI-X configurations.
mdi-x Test DUT in MDI configuration only. Default is to test both
MDI and MDI-X configurations.
noloss Exclude Line Loss impairment from all impairment
configurations as required for service outlet testing. Default is
to always connect line loss impairment.
impair offset_dB Adjust Noise and Jitter impairment levels by
-6dB to +3dB from default levels (see Returned Parameters).
