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 to 16000.

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).
