1.Introduction
TC701B Ethernet test module is developed by the Tianjin Deviser
Electronics Instrument Co., Ltd, China. It is based on FC-1
high-performance portable platform. TC701B Ethernet Test Module
supports RFC2544 test and Y.1564 test. Meanwhile, it also supports
standard 10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000Base-T and 1000Base-X Ethernet
ports. The TC701B provides a comprehensive offering of test to the
Ethernet maintainer with accurate data such as throughput, data rate,
frame loss rate, bit error rate, number of transimiting or receiving
packets/bytes and etc. Thus, it makes Ethernet test convenient and
improves work efficiency for field technicians greatly.
Features and Benefits
Accelerate the progress of Ethernet test with bidirectional Y.1564
and RFC 2544 test suites, multistream traffic generation; provide
Throughout Mode and bit-error-rate (BER) testing.
Port 1 and Port 2 can be achieved completely independent
full-function tests.
User-definable RFC 2544 test routines.
Asymmetrical network testing capability.
The remote module is fully controlled by the local module.
The number of layer of bit-error-rate testing (BERT) is up to 4.
Service Disruption Time (SDT) measurement
Traffic generation and monitoring for Ethernet and IP network
performance evaluation.
Support third-party remote loopback.
Two electrical interfaces support: 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, and 1000
Mbit/s; two optical interfaces support: 1000 Mbit/s.
Support multi-layer smart loopback.

2.2 Module Function Indicators
Module function indicators of TC701B Ethernet test module is on the
right corner of FC-1 high-promance and portable platform.
Figure 2 Module Function Indicators
PORT 1 link state indicator, green means link-on.
PORT 1 link state indicator, orange means the port is in use (busy).
PORT 2 link state indicator, green means link-on.
PORT 2 link state indicator, orange means the port is in use (busy).
The test result is reflected by the indicator: green means test succeeds,
and red means test fails.

funtion interface pressing the relevant button.
3.2.2 Function Buttons Area
TC701B function buttons area includesStart , Port1(or Port2), Setup、
Result and Return five buttons.
Start ：Start some kinds of test. When the test begins, it will turn to Stop，
press Stop button, and the test will be terminated.
Port1 (or Port2): switch between two fully functional ports.
Setup：Enter some specific interfaces to configurate some kinds of
tests.
Result：View the test result.
Return：Back to the upper interface.
3.2.3 Status Bar
: Minimize button, it will switch to the interface of FC-1 portable
high-performance platform when press this button. TC701B App would
run in the background.
: Quit button, it will display ‘Confirm Exit? ’ dialog box if pressing this
button. Confirm to quit TC701B App and return to FC-1 interface.

4. General Operation
4.1 Main Test Interface
Press button in TC701B App main interface to enter the main test
interface. There are six buttons in the main test interface that represent
‘RFC 2544’, ‘Y.1564’, ‘BERT’, ‘Traffic Gen. &Mon.’, ‘LoopBack’ and
‘Through Mode’.
The ‘Through Mode’ button is only displayed in Port 1 main test
interface.
Figure 5 Main Test Interface
4.2 Basic Operation in Test
4.2.1 Switch the Test Port
Port 1(or Port 2) button indicates the test port in current test interface.
When the button is enabled (the color of the button is blue, not gray),
click the button to switch the two port test interfaces.
4.2.2 Enter the Test
In the main test interface, press buttons in the main function area to
enter relevant configuration interfaces for some modes of test.

4.2.3 Configurations
It will firstly enter the configuration interface when we start some kind of
test. When the test has not begun , press the Setup button to lead into
the configuration interface. The test configuration interface has many
tabs.They are separated as ‘PHY’, ‘MAC’, ‘NET’, ‘OPT’ and other
configurations that related to specific tests.
4.2.4 Start the Test
After we set the test，press the Start button to start the test. Attentions
should be paid since some kinds of tests can start only if the status of
selected ports links on, (the indicator of the link status in the status bar
is green, displays as ）.When we start the test, the Start button at the
function buttons area turns to Stop automatically.
4.2.5 Terminate the Test
When the test is running，press the Stop button to terminate the current
test,and the Stop button will change to Start automatically.
4.2.6 Test Complete
When the test has done, the test will be terminated automatically and
the result interface will display the test result.
4.2.7 View the Result
When the test is runing, the result interface will display the result in
real-time if the partial test has done. When the test completes, pressing
the Result button in the function buttons area can conduct to the result
interface. In this interface we can see the result of the last test and
obtain related test data. If we quit the current test, the test result will
lost.

4.2.8 Report Generation
When some kinds of tests are stopped or completely done, it will
display a dialog to confirm whether TC701B generates a report or not .
The device will save the result data in pdf format if we select ‘Yes’ .
4.2.9 Quit the Test
It can return to the main test interface directly if we press the Return
button in function buttons area when no test is running. When some
tests are running, we cannot quit immdiately. When we stop a running
test, the result data will not be saved.
