Performing a MAC Loopback
You can perform a ping-like test on the media access control
(MAC) layer (Layer2) . Using two FrameScopes, you can get
results on the round-trip performance.
1Connect two FrameScopes to the network. Connect one at
each end of the network circuit you want to test. See
“Connecting to the Network” on page12.
2On the local FrameScope, press the Tools button on the main
Network tab to display the Tools menu.
3Press the MACLoopback button to call the MACLoopback
screen.
NOTE
This procedure requires two FrameScope 350s; one at each end of the
network circuit to be tested.
