Initializing the link for Ethernet testing

patterns (CRPAT), continuous jitter test patterns
(CJPAT), or the compliant supply noise pattern
(CSPAT).
– J-Proof. Also referred to as Layer 2 Transparency
testing. Select this test if you want to verify that an
Ethernet circuit can support a variety of control proto-
cols (such as CDP, VTP, STP, and RSTP).
Before you begin testing, you can automatically detect other
JDSU test instruments on the circuit and determine their capa-
bilities.You can then optionally configure key parameters for
your test automatically based on a discovered instrument's
settings. For details, see
another JDSU test set" on page
Initializing an Ethernet link involves specifying the settings
required to establish connectivity with another Ethernet
device on a circuit (link), such as auto-negotiation, flow
control, and speed and duplex settings (for 10/100 Ethernet
traffic only). You can also enter the pause quanta for trans-
mitted pause frames.
After specifying the link initialization settings, you are ready to
connect the HST-3000 (or HST-3000s) to an access element
on a circuit, and then turn the laser on (if you are testing 1G or
100M optical Ethernet).
– If you turned auto-negotiation ON, and another Ethernet
device is on the circuit, the HST-3000 and the device
automatically go through the auto-negotiation process.
After auto-negotiation is complete, an Ethernet link is
established, and idles are transmitted over the circuit.
