Use the Simulate Traffic from Traffic Generator window or the Simulate Traffic from Capture Memory window (shown on the following pages) to simulate and transmit traffic. You display these windows in either of the following ways:

∙From the Simulate menu, select the required port; then select Traffic; then select Traffic Generator or Capture Memory.

∙From the main screen, click the Simulate tab for the required port to display the Simulator; then use the pull-down list to select Traffic Generator or Capture Memory; then click the Traffic icon.

Use Traffic Generator to transmit traffic, such as predefined patterns, Protocol Data Units (PDUs), or sequences. Use Capture Memory to transmit captured data that is currently in the capture memory. At the top of both Simulate Traffic windows are On/Off buttons to turn traffic transmission on and off.
