Performing a MAC Loopback

N O T E	This procedure requires two FrameScope 350s; one at each end of the
	network circuit to be tested.

You can perform a ping-like test on the media access control (MAC) layer (Layer 2). 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 page 12.

2On the local FrameScope, press the Tools button on the main Network tab to display the Tools menu.

3Press the MAC Loopback button to call the MAC Loopback screen.
