• Before you begin testing, check your environment and make sure that
you follow the EMI guidelines as described in the “Safety
Requirements” on page 23, and in the ESD Requirements on page 131.
Once the testing environment is properly prepared, you are ready to use
the appropriate software for the tests you want to perform. Failure to
comply with these guidelines may produce invalid test results.
Most test setups require a minimum of two module connections to the DUT – one module
to transmit traffic, and one to receive traffic. Many tests are also set up as partial or full
mesh, uni-directional or bi-directional, full or half duplex, single-to-many ports, or many-
to-many ports.
Notes: • For sample test scenarios, refer to the user guide for each software
application.
• For cable description and pinout information, refer to Appendix B, “Cable
Information.”
