1.1 Product Overview
This option controls the MU120121A/22A modules installed in the main
unit and monitors the traffic on the PPPoE session. It can measure
throughput and delay by “session group”, which is a group of more than
one PPPoE sessions.
Measurement is performed by establishing a session first, generating
traffic, and disconnecting the session.
There are two types of measurement: manual where traffic is
started/stopped manually and auto where measurement is repeated
automatically. The user can switch the measurement method.
This option measures traffic for the following three types of network
topologies:
Note:
In this manual, the user flow from client to server is referred to as
“UpLink” and from server to client “DownLink.”
Network topology consisting of PPPoE client and PPPoE server
A PPPoE session is established between the PPPoE client and PPPoE
server. Traffic is measured by exchanging user data between client and
server using session information.

Overview
Network topology consisting of PPPoE client and Internet server
A PPPoE session is established between the PPPoE client and server
(BB-RAS) and user data is exchanged. Traffic is measured by exchanging
user data between the PPPoE client and internet server using session
information.

1.2 Features
This unit has the following features:
•Capbale of measuring traffic by “session group” consisting of multiple
sessions
•Measures traffic and displays measured results while sessions
established
•Real-time display of information during traffic measurement
•Visual and easy-to-understand charts
•Saves and loads specified information to and from file

Overview
1.3 Usage Restrictions
This option is used by switching the ports of the main unit using the
Setup utility, which can be executed from the menu that appears after
starting the main unit. Note that this option functions and the normal
measurement function are mutually exclusive. When this option is
enabled, normal measurement function is disabled. In addition, remote
control using the remote command options is also disabled.
The main unit can control the MU120121A/22A modules. Other modules
cannot be controlled by the main unit and are not be recognized even if
installed. This unit can control only one module per unit. If more than one
module is installed, only the module in the top slot is controlled.
When this option screen is opened, only the following keys can be used: 0
to 9, A to F, ./:, +/-, BS, DEL, Set, Cancel, ->|F, R|<-, <, >,
∧
,
∨

1.4 Starting Application
To use this option, the main unit operation mode must be set to PPPoE
mode. Once set, the operation mode setting is not required again since the
setting is retained in the main unit. The PPPoE mode is set as follows:
Setting PPPoE mode
1. Connect a mouse to the main unit before turning it on. Install the
module to be used by this option in the main unit.
2. Turn on the main unit, and wait until the Selector is started. Press
the [Setup utility] button to start the Setup utility.
