After you create Ethernet services, you can set the sending test frames of the Ethernet board to determine whether the line or board is faulty.
Background Information
As shown in Figure 1, when the Ethernet services between ONE1 and ONE2 are not available, you can set the sending test frames between ONE1 and ONE2 to determine whether the
line between ONE1 and ONE2 is faulty. ONE1 sends test frames to ONE2. Upon receipt of the test frames, ONE2 sends response frames to ONE1. Based on the response frames of ONE2, ONE1 determines whether the line between ONE1 and ONE2 is faulty.
NOTE: Perform an Ethernet test when the L4G boards are used to transmit and receive the services. If Enabling Status of Responding Test Frame of the corresponding ports on the two L4G boards is set to Enabled, there is a small possibility that the response frames or test frames received by the two ends are lost.
Procedure
- Select the desired Ethernet board on the NE Explorer, and choose .
- Select the internal port to be tested and set the test parameters.
NOTE:
Set the sending test frames only when you test whether the network normally operates. Both the sending mode and sending times of the test frames are configurable. When you set the sending mode, note the following items:
- In Continue Mode, the test data packets can be continuously sent. The sending stops only when you manually change Send Mode to Disabled.
- In Burst Mode, the number of frames to be transmitted can be set in the Frames to Send field.
- In Disabled, the sending of test frames stops.
