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.

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,

1.7 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.

CRC Error
Indicates the number of frames in which FCS errors were detected. The AQ1300 Series detects errors by comparing the CRC values calculated from the received
frames to the FCS (Frame Check Sequence) values in the received frames.
Undersize
Indicates the number of undersized frames. An error occurs when a received frame is shorter than 64 bytes (excluding the preamble but
including the FCS).
• If the interface is XFP, frames shorter than 48 bytes will not be detected.
• If the interface is SFP or RJ-45, frames shorter than 18 bytes will not be detected.
Oversize
Indicates the number of oversized frames. When a received frame is longer than the frame length that user defined (excluding the preamble
but including the FCS), a received frame is considered oversized.
When Manual has been selected in the Test menu, you can set the oversized frame length on the
Manual Setup screen. The factory default value is 1519 byte.
When Auto or Auto(Remote) has been selected in the Test menu and “Use Jumbo Frame” has not
been selected, frames that are longer than 1518 + the value set for “VLAN stacks” in the source settings × 4 bytes are considered oversized.
Alignment Error
Indicates the number of alignment error frames. An error occurs when a received frame's length is not in units of bytes and a FCS value is incorrect
(CRCerror).
An error will not occur if the FCS value is correct, even if a received frame's length is not in units of
bytes. Alignment errors are valid only for 10M and 100M connections.
Symbol Error
Indicates the number of received frames that contain symbol errors. An error occurs when any of the following conditions is detected:
• If there are codes that cannot be encoded. Errors are not detected if the interface is RJ-45 (10M connection).
• If the end value of a received frame is incorrect.
• If a link fault signaling (LFS) exists in a received frame. (Interface type: XFP)

1.16 RFC2544 Measurement (AQ1300 Option)

Test traffic rate
One trial
RFC2544 was published by the IETF. This document contains evaluation methods (benchmark tests) for measuring the processing capabilities of network devices. The AQ1300 Series can perform the following measurements contained in RFC2544. The test configuration that you need to use for these measurements is Loopback Traffic Test, in which the other device is set to Loopback Test mode.
• Throughput
• Latency
• Frame loss rate
• Back to back
For each measurement, the length of transmit and receive frames is changed automatically to retrieve a measured value. Then, the processing capability for each frame length is displayed on a graph. In addition to the features listed above, the AQ1300 Series can measure the frame signal delay variations when these frame signals travel across the network.
• Delay variations (packet jitter)
Throughput Measurement
The throughput measurement measures the maximum amount of traffic (rate) that a network device can transmit without losing frame signals. In this measurement, a fixed number of frame signals are transmitted (at the initial rate) over the specified measurement time (the test duration). During the test duration, if a loss is detected, the rate is automatically decreased. The AQ1300 Series performs another measurement to detect whether a loss occurs at this new rate. If a loss is detected, the same operations are repeated. These operations are repeated until the rate is decreased to the specified minimum rate. During the test duration, if no losses are detected, the rate is automatically increased. The AQ1300 Series performs another measurement to detect whether a loss occurs at this new rate. If no losses are detected, the same operations are repeated. These operations are repeated until the rate is increased to the specified maximum rate. These rate increasing and decreasing operations are repeated until the difference (the resolution) between the rates when a loss was detected and when no losses were detected reaches a value that is equal to or less than the specified value. The series of operations from the start of measurement to the point where the rate converges to this specified value is a single measurement (a trial). The specified number of trials are measured, and the average of the rates at the end of each trial is the throughput value.
If a loss is detected at 100% test traffic rate, the rate is decreased to
100%
80%. If a loss is detected at a rate other than 100%, the rate is decreased to half its original rate.

1.16 RFC2544 Measurement
Test Duration
This is the length of one measurement for detecting losses.
Number of Trials
The number of times that the AQ1300 Series will perform the series of operations from the start
of measurement to the point where the rate converges to the specified value. In one trial, frame signals of the preset frame lengths are used to perform the loss detection measurements. The throughput is the average of the values from all the trials.
Initial Rate
The traffic rate that is used when the throughput measurement starts.
Minimum Rate
This is the lower limit for the rate. The rate is decreased automatically whenever a loss is detected.
This is the minimum traffic rate that is used to converge the throughput measurement.
Maximum Rate
This is the upper limit for the rate. The rate is increased automatically when no losses are detected.
This is the maximum traffic rate that is used to converge the throughput measurement.
Resolution
This is the range that is used to converge the throughput measurement. When the difference
between the rates when a loss was detected and when no losses were detected falls within the resolution range, the AQ1300 Series concludes the throughput measurement.
Acceptable Loss
This threshold value specifies the percentage of a frame signal that can be lost without a loss being
detected.
Pass/Fail Judgment
You can perform pass/fail judgments by setting the throughput threshold on the AQ1300 Series in
advance. If the value falls below the threshold, a fail judgment occurs.
Latency Measurement
In the latency measurement, the AQ1300 Series measures the delay when a network device transmits frame signals. In this measurement, a fixed number of frame signals are transmitted (at the test rate) over the specified measurement time (the test duration). These frame signals are looped back by the other device. The delay of the intermediate frame signal from the fixed number of frame signals is measured.

Selecting the Way That Measured Results Are Displayed
There are two transmission methods that can be used depending on the other network device. You
can select the method that the AQ1300 Series displays measured results with that is suitable for the other device.
For the different transmission methods, the delay measurement method differs as shown in the
following figures.
• Store&Forward: The delay of frame signals transmitted in the store and forward method is displayed.
• Cut Through: The delay of frame signals transmitted in the cut through method is displayed.
Store and Forward Method
The time from when the last bit of the frame signal is received at the input port to when the first bit
of the frame signal is transmitted from the output port is measured as the delay.

Cut Through Method
The time from when the first bit of the frame signal is received at the input port to when the first bit
of the frame signal is transmitted from the output port is measured as the delay.

Test Duration
This is the time that frame signals are transmitted for during a single delay measurement.
Number of Trials
The number of times that delays are measured. For each trial, the delay measurement is performed
for the time specified by the test duration.In one trial, frame signals of the preset frame lengths are used to perform the delay measurements. The delay is the average of the values from all the trials.
Test Rate
The traffic rate that the AQ1300 Series uses to measure the delay. You can change the test rate
value. If you have already performed the throughput measurement, you can set the traffic rate to the measured throughput result.

Pass/Fail Judgment
You can perform pass/fail judgments by setting the delay threshold on the AQ1300 Series in
advance.If the value exceeds the threshold, a fail judgment occurs.

Frame Loss Rate Measurement
In the frame loss rate measurement, frame signals are transmitted to the network device at a traffic rate that exceeds the frame signal transfer capability of the network device, and the frame loss rate is measured for each frame length. In this measurement, the frame loss rate is measured while the rate is continually stepped down from the initial rate that the measurement started at until losses are no longer detected. The series of operations from the start of measurement to the finding of the rate at which losses are no longer detected is a single measurement (a trial).

The frame loss rate is computed using the following equation.
Test Duration
This is the time that frame signals are transmitted for during a frame loss rate measurement at a

Number of Trials
The number of times that the AQ1300 Series will perform the series of operations from the start
of measurement to the point where the rate at which losses are no longer detected is found. In one trial, frame signals of the preset frame lengths are used to perform the frame loss rate measurements. The frame loss rate is the average of the values from all the trials.
Initial Rate
The traffic rate that is used when the frame loss rate measurement starts.
Step Down
After the measurement starts, the AQ1300 Series continually detects for losses while it automatically
decreases the traffic rate by the specified step.Measurement is stopped automatically when a rate is found at which losses are no longer detected.

Pass/Fail Judgment
You can perform pass/fail judgments by setting the frame loss rate threshold (the rate’s upper limit)
on the AQ1300 Series in advance.If the value exceeds the threshold, a fail judgment occurs.

network device can transmit without losing frame signals is measured. In this measurement, a burst of frame signals (a group of consecutive frame signals) is transmitted over the specified measurement time (the test duration). During the test duration, if a loss is detected, the number of burst frames is automatically decreased. The AQ1300 Series performs another measurement to detect whether a loss occurs with this new number of burst frames. If a loss is detected, the same operations are repeated. During the test duration, if no losses are detected, the number of burst frames is automatically increased. The AQ1300 Series performs another measurement to detect whether a loss occurs with this new number of burst frames. If no losses are detected, the same operations are repeated. These operations that increase and decrease the number of burst frames are repeated until the difference (the resolution) between the number of burst frames when a loss was detected and when no losses were detected reaches a value that is equal to or less than the specified value. The series of operations from the start of measurement to the point where the number of burst frames converges to the specified value is a single measurement (a trial). The traffic rate is fixed to 100%.

The number of burst frames is the average of the values from all the trials.
Resolution
This is the range that is used to converge the back to back measurement.When the difference
between the number of burst frames when a loss was detected and when no losses were detected falls within the resolution range, the AQ1300 Series concludes the back to back measurement.
Pass/Fail Judgment
You can perform pass/fail judgments by setting the threshold on the number of burst frames (the
lower limit on the number of frames) on the AQ1300 Series in advance.If the value falls below the threshold, a fail judgment occurs.

1.16 RFC2544 Measurement
Delay Variation (Packet Jitter) Measurement
In the delay variation measurement, the AQ1300 Series measures the delay variations when a network device transmits frame signals. In this measurement, a fixed number of frame signals are transmitted (at the test rate) over the specified measurement time (the test duration). The AQ1300 Series then measures the frame signal delay in units of the specified test window size. The maximum variation width and minimum variation width of the delays are measured per sampling period. For each sampling period, the largest and smallest values are selected as the measured results for the sampling period and are displayed on a graph. Additionally, the statistically processed variation widths of each sampling period are displayed on the graph as percentile variations.

This is the length of one measurement for measuring delay variations.
Number of Trials
The number of times that delay variations are measured. For each trial, the delay variation
measurement is performed for the time specified by the test duration.In one trial, frame signals of the preset frame lengths are used to perform the delay variation measurements.
The delay variation is the average of the values from all the trials.
Test Rate
The traffic rate that the AQ1300 Series uses to measure the delay variation. You can change the
test rate value. If you have already performed the throughput measurement, you can set the traffic rate to the measured throughput result.
Test Window Size (Sampling Time)
The AQ1300 Series measures frame signal delay variations in units of the specified length of time.
Resolution
This is the percentile variation value’s measurement resolution. The variation value measurement
ranges for all the resolutions are shown below.
Resolution Measurement Range

2.5 ms 0 ms to 150.00 ms
5.0 ms 0 ms to 300.00 ms
If you set Resolution to Auto, the AQ1300 Series statistically processes the frame signal delay that
was sampled during the preliminary measurement, which was done before the start of the test, and automatically sets the resolution to the most appropriate value.

Example: 5000 samples
1.16 RFC2544 Measurement
Calculation Criterion for Result
The AQ1300 Series uses this setting to select the variation value from the statistically processed
values. During statistical processing, the value that you specified with the measurement resolution specifies the class interval, and the size of the statistically processed values is split into 60 classes.
The AQ1300 Series sets the percentile value to the largest value that is within the class that
contains the value that corresponds to the threshold value.
• Example of the 75th percentile: In a single period of the test duration, 5000 values (statistically
processed values) were measured. Starting from the first measurement, the value that corresponds to 75% is measurement number 3750. Each class contains a certain number of statistically processed values, and the percentile value is set to the largest value within the class that contains measurement number 3750.
The threshold is the 75th percentile. In this example, this

1.19 E-OAM Test

The AQ1300 Series is equipped with an Ethernet OAM (Ethernet operation, administration and maintenance; hereafter referred to as E-OAM) function that complies with the ITU-T Y.1731 Recommendation and IEEE802.1ag Standard. The following tests can be performed.
• CC (continuity check) test
• LB (loop back) test, multicast LB execution
• LT (link trace) execution
Overview of the E-OAM Test
The E-OAM test checks the connection of network devices that are connected to a network segment configured with an E-OAM router. In this test, the AQ1300 Series sends E-OAM frames and checks whether response frames are returned from devices connected at the far end of the network (MEP; maintenance end point) or routers connected in the middle of the network (MIP; maintenance intermediate point). Moreover, another AQ1300 Series, functioning as an emulator, can be connected in place of the other network device (MEP) and return response frames to the AQ1300 Series on the transmitting end.

CC (Continuity Check) is a test in which CCM frames (Continuity Check Message) are sent periodically to a device (MEP) at the far end of the network in order to check whether the route to the device is connected. You can set the transmission interval to 100 ms, 1 s, 10 s, or 60 s. When the route is disconnected (LOC: loss of continuity detection), an RDI (remote defect indication) frame is transmitted to the network device at the destination address.
1.19 E-OAM Testt
When LOC Is Detected
When a loss of continuity is detected (CCM frame is not received), if the auto RDI transmission
is enabled on the AQ1300 Series, an RDI frame is sent to the network device at the destination address.
Network device (MEP)
* RDI frames refer to periodically sent CCM frames with the RDI bit set to on.
LB Test
LB (Loop Back) is a test in which LBM (loopback message) frames are sent to a device (MEP) at the far end of the network to check whether LBR (loopback reply) frames are returned from the device.
