1.3 Test Modes

Traffic Test Mode
In this mode, you generate traffic and measure the network throughput by defining a single Tx frame and specifying the frame length and Tx rate. When the other device is in Loopback Test mode, you can perform latency measurement.
Loopback Test Mode
In this mode, the source and target addresses of received frames are reversed, and the frames are sent back to their source. The AQ1300 Series takes statistics of the received frames. Testing is performed with the other device set to Traffic Test, QoS Test, or BERT mode.
QoS Test Mode
In this mode, you can generate QoS measurement traffic and measure the network QoS performance by defining a Tx frame with up to eight channels of QoS parameters and specifying the frame length and Tx rate. The AQ1300 Series takes statistics of each individual QoS channel. When the device under test is in Loopback Test mode, you can perform latency measurement on individual QoS channels.
PING Test Mode
In this mode, you can verify layer 3 connectivity. You can ping a single host at intervals of 1 s or less (1 ms minimum). You can also use traceroute testing to check the route to the target (the other device).
1
Features
BERT Mode
In this mode, bit error rate testing is performed. The AQ1300 Series inserts a pseudo-random pattern (PN15) into the payload of the Tx frame and checks whether or not bit errors are occurring between itself and the other device. The other device must be set to BERT mode or Loopback Test mode.

1.5 Layer 1 Control

Tx Clock Master/Slave Synchronization
When Manual has been selected in the Test menu and the interface is XFP or SFP, you can select the Tx clock source. Tx Clock Source Internal CLK: The internal clock is used. Received CLK: The AQ1300 Series synchronizes with the Rx line signal.
Rx Clock Measurement
When the interface is XFP, SFP, or RJ-45 100BASE-TX, you can measure the frequency deviation of the Rx clock.
Link State Measurement Result Display
Linkdown “---” is displayed. Linkup The frequency deviation of the Rx clock is displayed [ppm].
When the interface is RJ-45, the AQ1300 Series cannot measure the frequency deviation of the Rx clock for 1000BASE-T or 10BASE-T connections. To measure the frequency deviation of the Rx clock through the RJ-45 interface, use a 100BASE-TX connection.
LF and RF Transmission and Detection
When the interface is XFP, because the AQ1300 Series supports the notification of physical layer failures through LFS (link fault signaling), it can transmit and detect LF (local fault) and RF (remote fault) signals. The AQ1300 Series can transmit LF and RF signals consecutively (start/stop). Also, when Manual has been selected in the Test menu, the AQ1300 Series can automatically send an RF signal upon linkdown detection or LF signal reception.
1
Features
RxLF (Local Fault reception)
Detection: Four or more sequence columns that indicate LF at an interval less than 128 columns.
Sequence columns that indicate RF must not be received during this period.
Clear: When sequence columns that include LFs are not received 128 times.
RxRF (Remote Fault reception)
Detection: Four or more sequence columns that indicate RF at an interval less than 128 columns.
Sequence columns that indicate LF must not be received during this period.
Clear: When sequence columns that include RFs are not received 128 times.
Simple Optical Power Monitor
When the interface is XFP or SFP, the AQ1300 Series can monitor the received optical power level and indicate it using three levels.
Indication Colors Description
Black and black When the RJ-45 interface is being used or when the XFP or SFP interface is
being used and the interface module is not installed Red and black When the level of received light is too low Green and green When the level of received light is appropriate Red and red When the level of received light is too high
1-7
1.5 Layer 1 Control
Turning the Optical Output Off and On
When the interface is XFP or SFP, you can turn the optical output (laser) off and on. You can force the link of the device under test down or up.
Linkdown Transmission Continuation
When Manual has been selected in the Test menu and the interface is XFP, you can choose to continue or stop transmission during linkdown detection.
Sync Loss Detection of 66 Bits Blocks
When the interface is XFP, the AQ1300 Series detects the condition when the signal reception changes from a block sync (block lock) state of 66 bits blocks to a loss of sync (block lock loss) state as defined in IEEE802.3. When a sync loss of 66 bits blocks is detected, the link is disconnected. This feature is supported in firmware version (FW Ver.) R1.08.01.001 and later.
66B Sync Error Detection
When the interface is XFP, the AQ1300 Series detects 66 bits blocks whose sync header (2 bits) is except 00 or 11 when signal reception is in a sync (block lock) state as defined in IEEE802.3. This feature is supported in firmware version (FW Ver.) R1.08.01.001 and later.
66B Sync hi-ber Detection/Clear
When the interface is XFP, the AQ1300 Series detects and clears 66B Sync hi-ber on the basis of the following conditions when signal reception is in a sync (block lock) state as defined in IEEE802.3. This feature is supported in firmware version (FW Ver.) R1.08.01.001 and later.
Detection: When16ormoresyncheaders(2bits)setto00or11aredetectedina125μswindow
Clear: When less than 16 sync headers (2 bits) that are not set to 01 or 10 are detected in a 125
when signal reception is in a sync (block lock) state as defined in IEEE802.3.
µs window when signal reception is in a sync (block lock) state as defined in IEEE802.3.
Note
IEEE802.3 defines the sync (block lock) state of 66 bits blocks as follows: Detection: When 64 consecutive sync headers (2 bits) set to 01 or 10 are received correctly. Clear: When 16 sync headers (2 bits) that are not set to 01 or 10 are detected within 64 sync headers in a
sync (block lock) state.
Link Setting Acquisition
If the interface is SFP(GbE) or RJ-45, this feature is used to check the link settings of the DUT (the device on the user side). You can acquire and display link setting information of the other device connected to the AQ1300 Series or the DUT connected to the AQ1300 Series on the slave side as well as the status of the differences in the negotiation settings. In addition, you can check the UTP cable condition and display the results.

When the traffic format is Burst, frames are transmitted in bursts: frame transmission starts and
stops repeatedly at a specified interval. You can change the interframe gap (IFG) by changing the Tx rate. You can specify the number of Tx frames in the burst interval by setting Burst Number, and you can specify the interval of repetition by setting Interval.

1.6 Transmission Features
If the burst transmission interval determined by the value you set for Burst Number is greater than
the value you set for Interval, the AQ1300 Series will transmit frames at a constant rate without any idle condition.
Tx Rate
When the Mode is Traffic Test or BERT
When Manual has been selected in the Test menu, you can set the Tx rate as a percentage or in
units of bits or fps. You can only set values that exceed 100% in units of bits. When Test Interface is set to SFP(FE), you cannot set values that exceed 100%.
You can only set values as percentages when Auto or Auto(Remote) has been selected in the
Test menu.
Note
When the you set the Tx rate in bits, specify the number of bits in the IFG.
In QoS Test Mode
Regardless of the Test menu, you can only set the Tx rate as a percentage.
Tx Mode Settings
Continuous
In this mode, frames are transmitted continuously. After you start transmission, it continues until you
stop it.
Frames
In this mode, a specified number of frames is transmitted. After you start transmission, the specified
number of frames is sent, and then transmission is stopped automatically.
Tx Time
In this mode, frames are transmitted for a specified period of time. After you start transmission, it
continues for the specified period of time and is then stopped automatically.

Test Tags
When you are using two AQ1300 Series in a two-way or loopback test configuration, you can attach
test tags for analysis to the Tx frames. Test tags are inserted immediately before the Tx frame FCS. Test tags can be inserted when the test mode is Traffic Test or QoS Test. When Auto or Auto(Remote) has been selected in the Test menu, test tags are always inserted.
When Manual has been selected in the Test menu, you can select whether or not to insert test tags.
Preamble Test tags FCSData
Inserted Data
The following data is inserted into test tags.
Data Type Description
Test ID The IDs of the AQ1300 Series and the test item Additional test data For status notification and exchanging test setup information Frame ID The frame (QoS channel) number Timestamp Latency measurement data is inserted here. Sequence number A sequence number is inserted here. Payload check CRC A CRC for the payload Tag identifier A fixed identifier that indicates that the data is a tag. Tag length Tag field length in units of 2 bytes (for expansion)
Timestamp
The timestamp (time data) is inserted into a (32-bit) field in the test tag. If the other device is in
Loopback Test mode, you can use the timestamp to measure the latency.

Features
Sequence Number
By inserting a sequence number into a (32-bit) field in a test tag and then sending the frame, the
AQ1300 Series can check for sequence errors between itself and the other device. When the test mode is Traffic Test, the same sequence number is inserted for all ports. When the
test mode is QoS test, sequence numbers are inserted separately for each channel.
Payload Check CRC
By computing a (16-bit) CRC of the Tx frame payload, inserting the result into a test tag field, and
then sending the frame, the AQ1300 Series can check for payload errors between itself and the
other device.
PN Pattern
By inserting a pseudo-random pattern (PN15) into the fill pattern data area of a Tx frame payload
and then sending the Tx frame to the other device, the AQ1300 Series can perform a BER
measurement to check for device errors.
Error Addition
The AQ1300 Series can add the following errors to the frames that it sends. CRC errors, symbol errors, sequence errors, payload errors, bit errors, undersize errors,

1.6 Transmission Features
Transmitting by QoS Channel
When Manual has been selected in the Test menu and the test mode is QoS test, you can specify different frames, frame lengths, and transfer rates for each channel and send the frames separately. When Auto or Auto(Remote) has been selected in the Test menu and the test mode is QoS test, you can specify different QoS values, frame lengths, and transfer rates for each channel and send the frames separately. When Manual has been selected in the Test menu, you can select up to eight QoS channels; when Auto or Auto(Remote) has been selected in the Test menu, you can select up to four.

1.7 Reception Features

Base Filter
You can use the base filter to specify the conditions for selecting the received frames to take statistics from. You can set the base filter when Manual has been selected in the Test menu and the test mode is Traffic Test, QoS Test, or BERT. There are two filter types that you can choose from: field filtering, in which you select the field of the protocol that you want take statistics of, and offset filtering, in which you set the filter location and pattern. There are two base filters. You can combine them and set whether to take the statistics of frames that pass or do not pass through them.
QoS Channel Measurement
When Manual has been selected in the Test menu, you can measure up to eight QoS channels (classes) separately; when Auto or Auto(Remote) has been selected in the Test menu, you can measure up to four. By taking statistics for different flows, you can evaluate the priority control of a network device. The QoS filter operates on the frames that pass through the base filters. You can use the QoS filter when Manual has been selected in the Test menu and the test mode is QoS Test. There are two filter types that you can choose from: field filtering, in which you select the field of the protocol that you want take statistics of, and offset filtering, in which you set the filter location and pattern. There are two QoS filters, and the AQ1300 Series takes the statistics of the frames that pass through them.

Features
Latency Measurement
If you set the other device to Loopback Test mode, the AQ1300 Series can insert a timestamp in a Tx frame and measure the latency by determining the difference between the timestamp and the time that the frame comes back.
Gap Measurement
The AQ1300 Series measures the maximum, minimum, and average gaps (IFGs) between packets. The values are displayed both in µs and bits.
Note
Frames whose length is between 48 and 9999 bytes can be received. Frames whose length exceeds 9999 bytes are detected as oversized frames. When Test Interface is set to SFP(FE), frames whose length is between 48 and 2048 bytes are guaranteed to be received.

1.7 Reception Features
Payload Error Measurement
Using the (16-bit) payload CRC data in fields in Rx frame test tags, the AQ1300 Series can check for payload errors between itself and the other device.
BER Measurement
By inserting a pseudo-random pattern (PN15) into the fill pattern data area of a Tx frame payload and then sending the Tx frame to the other device, the AQ1300 Series can perform a BER measurement to check for device errors.
Condition for Synchronization
A sync loss state changes to a synchronized state when a matching PN pattern of 32 bits or more is
detected in the payload.
Condition for Sync Loss
A synchronized state changes to a sync loss state when an error of 50 bits or more is detected
within 128 bits.
Note
The bytes that undergo BER measurement include the first 32 bits that result in synchronization.
Pause
When Flow Control is set to ON and the AQ1300 Series detects a pause frame, it will stop transmission until the pause time passes.
Collision Detection
When the interface is RJ-45 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX and half duplex is selected, the AQ1300 Series detects collisions.
• Frames that are received when a collision is detected are considered invalid and are not used in statistics.
• Late collisions (collisions that occur after a string of 512 bits that includes the preamble have been sent) are treated as collisions.
