Enables traffic generation and starts test. Available with Traffic Gen & Mon and eCPRI BERT.
Save
Load
Saves, loads, imports, exports, and deletes configuration file(s). Available when the test is not
running.
Report Saves, opens, imports, exports, and deletes test report(s). Available when the test is running or
stopped, but the report generation (save) is only possible when the test is stopped.
Laser (on) Indicates that the laser control is on (for at least one lane for parallel interface); the laser button
has a red border. Tapping this button will turn off the laser (for all lanes for parallel interface). Only
available with optical ports.
Laser (off) Indicates that the laser control is off (for all lanes for parallel interface). Tapping this button will
activate the laser immediately by emitting an optical laser signal (on all lanes for parallel
interface). Only available with optical ports.
Reset Clears results, statistics, and logger content. Available when the test is running.
Inject Injects alarms/errors based on settings from the Inject button from the Results - Alarms/Errors tab.
Discover
Remote
Discovers and connects to a remote module that loops back the traffic via Smart Loopback or
Dual Test Set (DTS).
