1. NuStreams-P6GW Overview
1.1. NuStreams-P6GW General Description
NuStreams-P6GW is a four-port stand-alone Switch /Residential
Gateway (Broadband Router) test device for testing switches and
broadband routers (along with their switch ports) at wirespeed with
its 4 Switch Ports, 1 WAN Port and Wireless Module. Also, NuStreams-P6GW can be connected to PC for accessing its simple
and easy-to-use configuration utility.
Each of NuStreams-P6GW’s 3 RUNs contains 4 Tasks. These
Tasks allow users to simultaneously perform tests in 10M Full/Half,
100M Full/Half and 1000M Full with a single button. This innovative design can greatly reduce the time
consumed when performing product tests.
With 3 different Test Types (Router, Switch, and Router + Switch) available, NuStreams-P6GW can
perform tests on switch/router, or combining each of these test subjects under “Router + Switch” Test
Type, and test a broadband router’s WAN/LAN performance at the same time.
NuStreams-P6GW supports bi-direction LAN/WAN test packets with 253 IP addresses. Each IP has its
own settings and transmitting/receiving counters, including independent statistics and calculations for
latency and Serial Number. Also, both DUT and NuStreams-P6GW’s IP addresses can be any IP of 256
IP addresses from Class C.
Embedded with a Wireless Module that complies with IEEE802.11n Draft 2.0, NuStreams-P6GW can
connect to DUT wirelessly and perform wireless throughput tests.
NuStreams-P6GW comes with its own utility software. NuSet-MiniPG allows users to set DUT test
criteria, upgrading NuStreams-P6GW firmware/FPGA, and accessing detail test logs/statistics for further
analysis.
With the ability to provide high reliable test results and the best cost/performance ratio,
NuStreams-P6GW is the best solutions available for router and switch tests.

1.2. Key Features of NuStreams-P6GW
• Compact, lightweight, and portable 4-port test device for testing network switches and routers
• Flexible WAN port connection for router tests:
¾ Static IP
¾ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
¾ PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
•Supporting bi-direction LAN/WAN test packets with 253 IP addresses. Each IP has its own settings and
transmitting/receiving counters, including independent statistics and calculations for latency, Serial
Number, and VLAN Tags
• Both DUT and NuStreams-P6GW’s IP addresses can be any IP of 256 IP addresses from Class C
• Supports and can receive packet in PPP LCP, IPCP PAP formats
• Tests are performed automatically in a step-by-step manner, which makes NuStreams-P6GW a more
productive solution than traditional PC-based solutions
•NuStreams-P6GW’ s hardware information, such as FPGA/Firmware version and system temperature, is
available and can be checked on its LCD screen
•LCD screen for displaying test results and related statistics
1.3. NuPAD Overview
Built to be light and easy-to-handle, NuStreams-P6GW is
designed to meet the needs of production lines. However,
considering the buttons on NuStreams-P6GW might be too
small to operate, an optional keypad NuPAD is available to
solve this inconvenience.
NuPAD is an optional keypad with intuitive platforms and
easy-to-use buttons, and can be connected to
NuStreams-P6GW in mass production line.
Although possessing no configuration functions, the lighter and
smaller NuPAD provides 3 big, durable buttons (RUN 1~3) for users to operate the test procedure easily
without touching configuration buttons on the top panel of NuStreams-P6GW.
NuPAD Key Features
• Simple, easy to operate, performing tests fast
• Easy for maintenance. If NuPAD malfunctions, there’s no need to fix/replace the NuStreams-P6GW
that’s connected to it
•Intuitive Buttons for production crews to verify test results fast

3. Hardware Installation of NuStreams-P6GW
NuStreams-P6GW can perform tests on Residential Gateway (Broadband Router), Switch, or
Residential Gateway + Switch. Each test has its own different test options and parameters.
To perform tests on different DUTs mentioned above, you have to connect your NuStreams-P6GW
differently. Please see the installation structure mentioned in this chapter for more detail information.
3.1. Installation for Residential Gateway (Broadband Router) Test
While performing tests on Residential Gateway (Broadband Router), both WAN and LAN ports of the
DUT must be connected to NuS treams-P6GW with CAT-5 UTP cables as shown in the figure down below:
If NuStreams-P6GW’s WAN/LAN Ports and DUT’s ports are connected via CAT-5 UTP cables correctly,
the Link/ACT LEDs located on NuStreams-P6GW’s LAN Port Status LED will be ON accordingly.
XTRAMUS TECHNOLOGIES®

E-mail: sales@xtramus.com
Website: www.Xtramus.com
3.2. Installation for Switch Test
While performing tests on Switch, DUT LAN ports must be connected to NuStreams-P6GW with CAT-5
UTP cables or/and the DUT must detects the NuStreams-P6GW’s signal from its Wireless Module as
shown in the figure down below:
If both NuStreams-P6GW’s Switch Port 1~5 and DUT’s ports are connected via CAT-5 UTP cables
correctly, the Link/ACT LEDs 1~5 located on NuStreams-P6GW’s LAN Port Status LED will be ON
accordingly. If both Nustreams-P6GW and DUT are connected via Wireless connection, the last
Link/ACT LED (WLAN) will be ON accordingly.

3.3. Installation for Residential Gateway (Broadband Router) + Switch Test
While performing tests on Residential Gateway (Broadband Router) +Switch, both WAN and LAN
ports of the DUT must be connected to NuStreams-P6GW with CAT-5 UTP cables as the installation
structure when performing tests on Residential Gateway (Broadband Router) as shown in the figure
down below:
Test options for Residential Gateway (Residential Router) +Switch and Residential Gateway
(Residential Router) are very similar, with minor differences listed in the table down below:

3.4. Installation for WLAN (Wireless LAN) Testing
As mentioned previously, NuStreams-P6GWcomplies with IEEE802.11n Draft 2.0 and can connect to
DUT wirelessly and perform wireless throughput tests. However, in order to perform wireless tests, you
have to connect NuStreams-P5G’s Switch Port 5 to one of DUT’s LAN Port as shown in the figure down
below:
For more detailed information regarding to connect NuStreams-P6GW and your DUT wirelessly, please
refer to “5.3.5. Configuring Tasks with NuSet-MiniPG-Config” and “5.4.3.4. Quick Launch Buttons –

4. Making Settings with Front Panel Buttons & LCD
All parameters for DUT tests can be configured via control buttons located on the front panel. Also,
configuring, testing, and system information are displayed and can be viewed on the LCD screen as well.
Before performing any tests, NuStreams-P5G should be connected to DUT properly according to DUT’s
type. Please refer to 3. Hardware Installation of NuStreams-P6GW for more detail information.
