are used as examples.)
Put checkmarks in “Reply to this port ARP request”, and in “Reply to this port PING
request” (when performing ARP and PING).
Set “MAC Address:”. (Any value can be set but here “00-00-00-00-00-01” is used as
an example.)
Set “Test Pattern:”to “Cross PRBS 31”
Set Port1~Port12 for Unit2, Unit3, and Unit4 in the same way. Set “IPv4 Address:”
sequentially in the range of “192.168.0.1 to 36”, and ”MAC Address:”in the sequential range
of ”00-00-00-00-00-01~24” (hexadecimal).

4. End-to-End Measurement
This section explains the end-to-end measurement procedure by connecting the measuring
instrument to the OLT and the outside of each ONU.
In concrete terms, this measurement checks that data is flowing normally to each ONU by
measuring Throughput and Latency by counting Bit Rate and number of Frames. In addition
sequence errors are detected by imposing a load by varying the number of Frame and gaps and
using the packet BER measurement function to confirm that packet loss does not occur.
4.1. Connecting DUT
Connect ONI1~32 to Unit1 Port1~Port12 of the MU120131A, Unit2 Port1~Port12, and Unit3
Port1~Port8. Connect the OLT to Unit3 Port12.

Select “Jump to Stream” at “Distribution:”of Stream Control and “Frame per Burst:”to
32. (This returns to the default stream after sending 32 streams.)
Setting “Inter Frame Gap:”changes the Tx rate. Here, select “Fixed” at ”Inter Frame
Gap:”and set “Unit” of ”Value:”to “%” and “6.5625%”. (The setting is 6.5625% (5
Mbps) here, because the data is the same as video traffic of several Mbps flowing on
an actual network.)
Set “Frame Length” at [General] of Frame Setting. (When “Auto” is selected, 64 byte
is set automatically. With E-PON Frames, 64 bytes is common, but set 70 bytes
because we want a PRBS test frame of more than 28 bytes in the Data Field.)
Leave “Protocol:”unchanged as “IPv4”. (This is the common protocol setting.)
Put a checkmark in VLAN (because group division is commonly by LAN for each
