The operator may change any of the following properties of the
traffic being generated:
Frame Length The number of bytes in the frame, including the
FCS. This number ranges from 64-1518 unless long or short
frames are specified. If the Short Frames box is checked, the
frame size ranges from 40-63. If the Long Frames box is
checked, the frame size ranges from 1519-5000.
Frame Rate The rate at which frames are transmitted by the
FrameScope. Changing the Frame Rate causes the Utilization to
be recalculated.
Utilization The percent of the Ethernet bandwidth which the
FrameScope should fill up. This value ranges from 0 which
causes no frames to be transmitted to 100 which causes the
FrameScope to completely load the network connection.
Changing the Utilization causes the Frame Rate to be
recalculated.
# Frames or Continuous Specifies the number of frames the
FrameScope should generate when the Start button is pressed.
If Continuous is selected, the FrameScope begins generating
frames when the Start button is pressed and does not stop until
the Stop button is pressed or the Traffic Generator tool is
exited.
Errors Frames with errors may be generated. The error types
include CRC error, short frame or long frame.

Source MAC Choices include this FrameScope’s MAC or
simulate multiple (10, 100 or 200) stations. The simulated MACs
use the values 00-0C-65-01-00-XX where XX increments from 01
to C8 (hex).
