Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Industry Canada (IC) Information
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC Part 15
compliance in the United States and from IC ICES 003 compliance in
Canada. However, EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc. (EXFO) makes
reasonable efforts to ensure compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
European Union (CE) Information
Electronic test and measurement equipment is subject to the EMC
Directive in the European Union. The EN61326 standard prescribes both
emission and immunity requirements for laboratory, measurement, and
control equipment. This unit has been tested and found to comply with the

Ethernet Tester Analyzer vii
1 Introducing the ETS-1000
Ethernet/Gigabit ETS-1000 (referred to as unit or analyzer) is intended for
performing analysis and diagnostic tests according to the RFC 2544 [5]
methodology, checking the state of a cable, and checking link connectivity.
In addition, the analyzer supports operations in the loopback mode, and
statistics collection for received and transmitted traffic.
ETS-1000 analyzer provides the following options:
Generating and analyzing traffic at the data link (MAC) and network
(IP) layers.
Collecting and displaying statistics for traffic received and transmitted
at the physical, data link, and network layer.
RFC-2544 measurements: Throughput, Latency, Frame Loss, and
Back-to-Back.
Diagnosing the copper cable faults.
Ethernet loopback for physical, data link, and network layers of the OSI
model.
Loopback control via OAM protocol.
Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT).
Packet jitter measurements.
IP testing (ping, trace route, telnet/http requests).

3 Getting Started
Before setting up the procedures and performing tests on your ETS-1000
analyzer, turn the unit on.
To turn the unit on:
1. Get the tester from the box and make the external examination.
2. Keep the tester in normal environmental conditions for at least 2 hours
(if the tester has been previously kept in conditions distinct from
normal).
3. Connect the power supply unit to the electric network (if you use
mains voltage 110–240V with the 50/60Hz frequency).
4. Turn the unit on.
Ethernet Tester Analyzer 15
4 Setting up your Unit
You can configure the network, test interface, and other unit settings for
your ETS-1000 analyzer before testing.
Network setup
Configure the Network parameters from the Network setup menu as
explained below.
Port A :
Port: select port (A, B, or LAN).
DHCP: if enabled, all parameters (IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP
address, and the DNS server IP address) are provided automatically by
the DHCP server.
IP address: port IP address.
Subnet Mask: specifies which part of the IP address is the network
address and which part is the host address.
Gateway: gateway IP address.
Ethernet Tester Analyzer 17
Setting up your Unit
Network setup
DNS—IP: address of the DNS-server.
MPLS: on/off frames with label transmitting for port A (B) (for LANport
MPLS does not supported). If a value of the MPLS field will be set to Off
MPLS field (Interface setup menu) will become inaccessible for
editing.
Note: Note: gateway IP address and IP address of the DNS-server are established
independently for each port.

Setting up your Unit
Interface setup
Interface setup
The Interface setup is used to configure the local test interface. The
required parameters correspond to the physical, data link, and network
layers. The parameters are globally configured and applied to all the tests
and tools. Ensure that these parameters are set before running any tests or
tools.
Configure the interface parameters from the Interface setup menu as
explained below.
Port: Select the Port to customize.
State: switch on/off the port. You can switch off unused port to save the
power.
Speed: select transmission rate. If you selected Automatic, then
transmission rate will be determined automatically (any of the
10/100/1000 Mbit/s values can be used). Also, in this case a value of the
Autoneg. Field will be set to On and become inaccessible.

Setting up your Unit
Interface setup
Autoneg: enabling the auto-negotiation mode. If enabled, you need to
select the preferable rate (or set Automatic, any of the
10/100/1000Mbit/s values that can be used) and set the
Auto-negotiation parameter to On. The connection will be established
only if the auto-negotiation mode is enabled also on remote end, and
at least one of the parameters is set to the same value.
MAC address: MAC address of the port (A, B, or LAN), which can be
specified.
VLAN: Enabling/Disabling VLAN parameters setup.
ID: 12-bit VLAN identifier (integer in the range 0–4095).
Priority: traffic priority.
MPLS: switch to the MPLS. Interface A menu (MPLS. Interface B).
