MAC Mode

Traffic Generator’s MAC mode allows you to transmit traffic on the local segment. You can transmit unicast or broadcast packets.

To run Traffic Generator in the MAC mode, do the following:

1.Connect the Network Assistant to your network.

2.Press ( Connectivity Tests) from the top-level

display. For xDSL, press (xDSL Test) from the top-level display then press the Traffic Generator tab.

3.Press (Traffic Generator).

4.Press or to configure Frames/second.

5.Press or to configure Frame Length as 60, 64, 128, 256, 512, 768, 1024, 1280, 1518, or 1520 bytes.

6.Select MAC as the frame type.

7.Select Broadcast if you want Traffic Generator to transmit broadcast traffic. Otherwise the transmitted traffic is unicast to 00c017310000 (Fluke - 310000), which is an unused MAC address.

8.Press (Start Traffic) to start generating traffic.

Press (Stop Traffic) to stop the Traffic Generator.

IP Mode

Traffic Generator’s IP mode allows you to transmit traffic to a specific device or network. The target device can be on the other side of a router.

To run Traffic Generator in the IP mode, do the following:

1.Connect the Network Assistant to your network.

2.Press (Connectivity Tests) from the top-level display.

3.Press (Internetwork Throughput Option)

4.Press the (Traffic Gen) tab. For xDSL, press

(xDSL Test) from the top-level display then press the Traffic Generator tab. The Traffic Generator screen displays.

5.Press or to configure Frames/second.

6.Press or to configure Frame Length as 60, 64, 128, 256, 512, 768, 1024, 1280, 1518, or 1520 bytes.
