Discoverable test instruments include:
– The T-BERD/MTS 8000 Transport Module
– The T-BERD/MTS 6000A MSAM
– Other HST's with Ethernet SIMs
To be discoverable, JDSU test instruments must:
– Run a software version that supports the JDSU Discovery
feature.
– Be configured to be discoverable.
– Have a unique source IP address. JDSU test instruments
of the same type (for example, HSTs) ship from the
factory with the same default source IP address. If you
want to discover the instrument on the subnet, be certain
to specify a different source IP address.
If you want to use a discovered instrument's MAC and IP
addresses to configure the settings on your instrument, verify
the following:
– In the Ethernet Filter, verify that the Source Type is
Unicast.
– In the Ethernet menu, verify that the Destination Type is
also Unicast.
– In the IP Filter, verify that the filter is enabled, and that the
Specify Source setting is Yes.
– Verify that you are not transmitting traffic.
– If you want to use the discovered MAC address as the
destination address, turn ARP off.
