About Ethernet TE testing
About Ethernet TE testing
In Ethernet TE mode, you can use the Triple Play Services to emulate Ethernet terminal equipment
by connecting to an Ethernet LAN or to the Ethernet port on the customer's modem. After
connecting to the circuit, you can then test for connectivity and throughput.
You can also ping through the modem to a network switch or web address to test for connectivity.
To select Ethernet TE mode
– From the Main Menu, select Ethernet TE.
The Ethernet TE menu appears.
The Ethernet TE test involves the following steps:
– Specifying test settings
– Connecting to the line
– Performing tests
– Viewing results
Specifying the network setup
Before you begin testing, make sure the test settings on the Triple Play Services match the settings
of the line that you are testing.
To specify test settings
1
From the main application menu, select Network.
2
Select Network Setup, and then specify the settings.
Configuring the settings can be done one of two ways:
– Press a number on the key pad that corresponds to the setting you want to configure.
– Use the arrow keys to highlight the setting you want to change, and then press the OK key.
Press the Cancel key to exit a menu.
CAUTION: FAULTY RESULTS
Any time the Network settings are changed, the network layer resets. If you change these set-
tings during a test, you may cause errors in the test. Only change them before you begin a test.
