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/AQ1301 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/AQ1301 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).
BERT Mode
In this mode, bit error rate testing is performed. The AQ1300/AQ1301 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.

Inband Remote
This is the test configuration for an Auto(Remote) test.
You can use dedicated remote commands to perform testing on the slave, change settings, and
acquire measurement results. Because the slave device can be controlled remotely, a single person
can perform this test.

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/AQ1301 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/AQ1301 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/AQ1301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/AQ1301 can transmit LF and RF signals consecutively (start/stop).
Also, when Manual has been selected in the Test menu, the AQ1300/AQ1301 can automatically send
an RF signal upon linkdown detection or LF signal reception.
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/AQ1301canmonitorthereceivedopticalpowerlevel
and indicate it using three levels.

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/AQ1301 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/AQ1301 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/AQ1301 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
when signal reception is in a sync (block lock) state as defined in IEEE802.3.
Clear: When less than 16 sync headers (2 bits) that are not set to 01 or 10 are detected in a 125
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/AQ1301 or the DUT connected to the AQ1300/AQ1301 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.

Transmission Load Configuration
When the test mode is Traffic Test, QoS Test, or BERT, you can set the transmission load by setting
the Tx rate and the Tx mode.
When the mode is Traffic Test or BERT, you can define a single frame. In QoS test mode, you can
define up to eight frames and assign them to the various transmission channels.
Tx Rate Settings
Traffic Format
When Manual has been selected in the Test menu, you can select a traffic format.
Constant
When the traffic format is Constant, frames are sent continuously at a constant interval. You can
change the interframe gap (IFG) by changing the Tx rate.

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/AQ1301 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.
