4.8. Port Configuration
Settings such as port transmitting rate, auto-negotiation, protocol, and pairing ports are available and can
be configured on the Port Configuration displayed on the Main Display Screen.
There are two ways to access Port Config:
Accessing Port Config
• Click Port Config located on
System Info/ Configuration List
• Click the Port Config button
located on Quick Launch
Buttons.
The Port Configuration contains two different sets of settings: Port, Protocol, and Port Pair, which can
be accessed by clicking the menu tabs.
¾ Port: Allows you to set each port’s alias, transmitting rate, duplex, and auto-negotiation.
¾ Protocol: Allows you to set each port’s MAC addresses, IP addresses, Gateway IP, and IP Mask.
¾ Port Pair: Allows you to set Test Pair Ports and Load Pair Ports.

Protocol
Before performing tests with NuApps-G8261-RM, you have to assign port pairs for Test Pair (the port pair
for G.8261 Test Case testing) and Load Pair (the port pair for impairing the Test Pair Ports) first. Please
note that you can assign only ONE pair of ports for the Test Pair.
Please see the section down below for Port Pair:
Port Pairing
1. Choose a port that will serve as the source
port from the Source Ports field.

Port Pairing
2. Choose a port that will serve as the
destination port from the Destination
Ports field.
3. Click the Test Pair or Load Pair button to
add the port pair you set in step 1~2.
Please note that you can assign only ONE
pair of ports for the Test Pair.
4. The port pair will be added to the Test Port
Pair or Load Port Pair field according to
your setting in step 3. You can remove the
selected port pair by clicking the Back
button, or remove all port pairs by clicking
the All Back button.
