Create a test scenario with the setup software PC application, and then save the scenario to a setup file. Upload the saved setup file to the AQ1300 Series (AQ1300 and AQ1301), and then use the test scenario to perform a test. The test results are saved to a result file. Use the PC to download the result file, and then use the setup software to print a report.

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 Series 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.

Page 14 1.4 Test Configurations 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.
Page 15: Layer 1 Control
The AQ1300 Series can transmit LF and RF signals consecutively (start/stop). Also, when Manual has been selected in the Test menu, the AQ1300 Series 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.
Page 16 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 Series 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.
Page 17: Transmission Features
Transmission Features 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.
Page 18 1.6 Transmission Features 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 Series will transmit frames at a constant rate without any idle condition.
Page 19 1.6 Transmission Features Tx Frame Definition For the Tx frame definition, in addition to basic frame editing, you can also set the payload, variable field setting, error addition, etc. Frame Editing When Manual has been selected in the Test menu, you can edit the following frames. •...
Page 20 • Variable range: 64 to 9999 bytes When Test Interface is set to SFP(FE), the sending and receiving of frames that exceed 2048 bytes in length is outside of the AQ1300 Series guaranteed operating range. Automatic Checksum Calculation This feature guarantees the L3 header checksum when Manual has been selected in the Test menu, field variation is enabled, and the variable field has been set to a field within the L3 header checksum (IPv4 header) computation range.
Page 21 1.6 Transmission Features Test Tags When you are using two AQ1300 Series in a two-way or loopback test configuration, you can attach test tags for analysis to the Tx frames. Test tags are inserted immediately before the Tx frame FCS.
Page 22 1.6 Transmission Features Transmitting by QoS Channel When Manual has been selected in the Test menu and the test mode is QoS test, you can specify different frames, frame lengths, and transfer rates for each channel and send the frames separately. When Auto or Auto(Remote) has been selected in the Test menu and the test mode is QoS test, you can specify different QoS values, frame lengths, and transfer rates for each channel and send the frames separately.
Page 23: Reception Features
Latency Measurement If you set the other device to Loopback Test mode, the AQ1300 Series can insert a timestamp in a Tx frame and measure the latency by determining the difference between the timestamp and the time that the frame comes back.

Page 26 1.7 Reception Features Payload Error Measurement Using the (16-bit) payload CRC data in fields in Rx frame test tags, the AQ1300 Series can check for payload errors between itself and the other device. BER Measurement By inserting a pseudo-random pattern (PN15) into the fill pattern data area of a Tx frame payload and then sending the Tx frame to the other device, the AQ1300 Series can perform a BER measurement to check for device errors.

• If an ARP request is received while transmission is paused, an ARP reply is sent after transmission is resumed. • If transmission is paused and the AQ1300 Series is waiting to send an ARP reply and a normal test frame, after transmission resumes, the AQ1300 Series will send the ARP reply first and then the normal test frame.
Page 39 (Acquisition is performed before measurement starts. Afterwards, the statistics are cleared and measurement starts.) • The AQ1300 Series waits for a reply after it sends an ARP packet. The timeout value is 1 second. The AQ1300 Series will try again after timing out.

(at the initial rate) over the specified measurement time (the test duration). During the test duration, if a loss is detected, the rate is automatically decreased. The AQ1300 Series performs another measurement to detect whether a loss occurs at this new rate. If a loss is detected, the same operations are repeated.
Page 50 This is the length of one measurement for detecting losses. Number of Trials The number of times that the AQ1300 Series will perform the series of operations from the start of measurement to the point where the rate converges to the specified value. In one trial, frame signals of the preset frame lengths are used to perform the loss detection measurements.
Page 51 The delay is the average of the values from all the trials. Test Rate The traffic rate that the AQ1300 Series uses to measure the delay. You can change the test rate value. If you have already performed the throughput measurement, you can set the traffic rate to the measured throughput result.
Page 52 Number of Trials The number of times that the AQ1300 Series will perform the series of operations from the start of measurement to the point where the rate at which losses are no longer detected is found. In one trial, frame signals of the preset frame lengths are used to perform the frame loss rate measurements.
Page 53 Index You can perform pass/fail judgments by setting the threshold on the number of burst frames (the lower limit on the number of frames) on the AQ1300 Series in advance.If the value falls below the threshold, a fail judgment occurs.
Page 54 The delay variation is the average of the values from all the trials. Test Rate The traffic rate that the AQ1300 Series uses to measure the delay variation. You can change the test rate value. If you have already performed the throughput measurement, you can set the traffic rate to the measured throughput result.
