3.1 Functionality note
Your unit may or may not include all the functionality described in this section, dependent upon your
licensing agreement with Spirent. Please contact Spirent for more information.
3.2 About the 10/100 ports and connections
The unit has two physical 10/100 ports which are connected internally by a functional Ethernet switch.
Therefore, when performing single-ended tests such as ping or traceroute, you may use either port.
When setting up an Ethernet bridge for passive tests, the order of the ports is likewise not important.
NOTE: On the physical port, the unit is able to auto-detect the receive and transmit channels; therefore
you may use straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables for any application.
3.3 10/100 testing diagram
The following diagram shows a typical setup for active, single-ended tests. For more information on the
setup for bridged, passive testing, see Passive testing on page 3-4.
