1. NuWIN-RM Overview
NuWIN-RM provides a powerful and sophisticated virtual front panel to manage the
NuStreams-2000i and NuStreams-600i chassis. Each test port can be independently
configured with parameters to define streams, filters, and capture capabilities. Traffic for
various network protocols can be customized, transmitted, and received on each port.
Comprehensive statistics provide users an in-depth analysis of the performance of the DUT (Device under
Test).
NuWIN-RM has a flexible and intuitive interface to control test modules in a single or multiple chassis
through a click of the mouse. Any combination of test modules can be inserted into NuStreams chassis and
be instantly identified.
Each port can be configured to analyze and count packets to match user-defined criteria, such as source
and destination MAC addresses, custom patterns, errors, and frame size ranges. Each port is equipped
with capture memory, which can store packets in real time. A comprehensive set of user-defined triggers
and filters are available based on source and/or destination MAC and/or IP addresses, data patterns, and
error conditions.
NuWIN-RM is designed to allow multiple users to access individual ports of every test module installed.
This feature enables users to execute their own tests on the ports assigned to them without disrupting
other users on the system.
NuWIN-RM is designed for Xtramus XM-RM series module cards. The table down below contains the
XM-RM module cards, FPGA/Firmware/PROM versions that are supported by NuWIN-RM.
Also, please make sure that your PC meets the requirements listed in the table down below before
installing NuWIN-RM.

and Source IP Address (SIP)
Each filter is independent and can be activated in any combinations. You can choose the criteria by
clicking the check boxes.

in a random length between the Minimum value and the Maximum value set in Random Packet
Length (w/o CRC).
Dynamic Random Seed: Enable this function, then the random packet of different streams will be
different, or packet lengths of all streams may be the same.
Random Packet Length (w/o CRC): Set the range of the random packet length.
6.2.2.3 Port Configuration
When clicking Port Configuration, a Port (X, Y, Z): Port Configuration window will pop up, where (X, Y,
Z) is module card’s port ID. You can make port configurations for the designated port here on the Port
Configuration pop-up window.
The Port Configuration window contains 6 menu tabs: A. Flow Control, B. Random Packet Length, C.
X-TAG Offset, D. BERT, E. Data Integrity (DI), and F. Elongated Frame Gap. Please see the sections
down below for more detailed descriptions.

E-mail: sales@xtramus.com
C. X-TAG Offset
X-TAG is a 12-byte tag developed by Xtramus, embedded in the transmitted packets, which is an
enhance measure to check the validation of data transmission on the network. When the starting position
of the X-TAG in the received packet by the other port of the two communication ends coincides with the
Byte set in Check Offset, then the data transmission between the two communication ends is supposed
to be validate. The Byte in Check Offset should be set based on the Byte in Tx Offset.
Tx Offset: Set the starting position of the X-TAG in the transmitted packet from the scroll down
menu.
Check Offset: Set the starting position of the X-TAG in the received packet from the scroll down
menu. Auto Check means the system will automatically select the right Byte for this function.
D. BERT
BERT stands for Bit Error Rate Test.
Transmit BERT: Adding BERT patterns to transmitted packets if this is enabled.
Check BERT: NuWIN-RM will check if BERT patterns are in received packets.

E-mail: sales@xtramus.com
E. Data Integrity (DI)
Transmit DI: When enabled, NuWIN-RM will check data integrity of transmitted packets.
Check Received DI: When enabled, NuWIN-RM will check data integrity of received packets.
F. Elongated Frame Gap
When this function is enabled and the transmitting packet flow reaches wirespeed, a 1 byte-time of frame
gap will be inserted after a certain amount of packets are transmitted. This can reduce packet loss
caused by crystal frequency differentials between DUT and test instrument. Enabling Elongated Frame
Gap can compensate crystal frequency differentials by around 30 ppm as simulation.

ARP&NDP
Configuration
ARP&NDP Configuration – Assign MAC address and IP address pairs to one port
ARP, namely address resolution protocol, is a TCP/IP protocol to obtain the MAC
address based on the IP address. NDP, namely neighbor discovery protocol, is a
replacement of ARP in IPv6.
You can assign multiple MAC address and IP address pairs to one port. As long as the
IP address in the ARP request fits one of the assigned pairs, the port will response the
ARP request.
To assign a specific MAC address and IP address pair to the port, check the
corresponding line in the most left Enable column. For example, in the picture down
below, the MAC address and IP address pairs from line 4 to line 8 are selected.
Meanwhile, you must enable the ARP or NDP according the type of the IP address
(IPv4 or IPv6) by check the corresponding line in the ARP or NDP Enable column.
Note: please check the ARP Enable column for IPv4 and check the NDP Enable
column for IPv6. Or, the MAC address and IP address pair is not successfully assigned
to the port.
ARP&NDP Configuration – Buttons
Enable: right-click the Enable area shown in the above left picture, a menu will
pop up to facilitate the enabling operations, shown as the above right picture.
Enable: check all the lines of the column.

Manual Speed Mode: In this mode, you need to manually input a required
transmitting rate in the Manual Speed column.
This field displays the transmitting rates supported by the port in Auto

the limit rate (Mbps) manually.
You can set length for packets (without CRC) generated randomly by

Force All Streams to Random Length: Check this function, then the
packet lengths of all streams of this port will be random.
Minimum: set the minimum packet length of the random packet length.
Maximum: set the maximum packet length of the random packet length.
Soft Random Length: this function is only available for the XM-RM 8xx
series modules. If you enable this function, the random packet length will
fluctuate in a small range, to avoid big vibrations in packet length.
Dynamic Random Seed: If you enable this function, the packet lengths of
all streams will be different, or it could be the same.
X-TAG is a 12-byte tag developed by Xtramus, embedded in the transmitted
packets, which is an enhance measure to check the validation of data
transmission on the network. When the starting position of the X-TAG in the
received packet by the other port of the two communication ends coincides with
the Byte set in Check Offset, then the data transmission between the two
communication ends is supposed to be validate. The Byte in Check Offset
should be set based on the Byte in Tx Offset.
BERT stands for Bit Error Rate Test. You can perform BERT for
transmitted/received packets. To enable BERT for transmitted packets, check

packets, check the check box in the Transmit field. To enable the data integrity
check of received packets, check the check box in the Receive field.
When this function is enabled and the transmitting packet flow reaches
wirespeed, a 1 byte-time of frame gap will be inserted after a certain amount of
packets are transmitted. This can reduce packet loss caused by crystal
frequency differentials between DUT and test instrument. Enabling Elongated
Frame Gap can compensate crystal frequency differentials by around 30 ppm as
simulation.
This function is specially designed for XM-RM881. Enable this function to
ensure the packets not of an integer multiple of 4 bytes to approximate the wire
speed. Or these packets may fail to reach the wire speed.

increasing manner.
-: Set the MAC address values in a
decreasing manner.
Please set the value of the steps in the
field on the right hand.
7. Also, you can set which section you
would like to change with the Select
Exchange Byte scroll-down menu.
8. If you would like to set the IPv4
addresses for your streams, please
check the IPv4 check box.
Setting DIP (Destination IP Address) and
SIP (Source IP Address) for new streams
are quite like setting MAC address and
can be related. Please refer to step 4~7.
9. Click OK to save all the settings you’ve
made and exit, or Cancel to exit without
saving.
