With respect to traffic modification, elements you can modify in the Link Layer include
primitives, CRC, scrambled traffic, and SSP, SMP and STP connection events. Elements
you can not modify in traffic include clock skew management, OOB & power
management, and signal integrity.
Stand-alone vs. Networked Mode
The SAS InFusion platform consists of a hardware device that connects to the line under
test and a Windows-based software application used to create and download test scripts
to the device. You also can use the SAS InFusion software application to configure and
control the device across an Ethernet link. This is called networked mode.
SAS InFusion test scripts are called scenarios. Scenarios determine how the SAS
InFusion hardware device monitors and modifies line traffic. You must use the SAS
InFusion application to create and download scenarios.
However, once you have downloaded scenarios to the SAS InFusion device, you can
break the Ethernet link to the application and operate the device in stand-alone mode. In
stand-alone mode, you can easily relocate the device, and you use the device LCD panel
to select and execute scenarios.
Regardless of the mode you choose to control testing, the SAS InFusion connections to
the line are the same: the device is connected between the SAS/SATA host and the PHY
of the test target (DUT).
