INTRODUCTION
QPHY-ENET is an automated test package that performs electrical tests for the three common networking
standards over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables normally referred to as CAT5 or CAT5E. The electrical tests
are performed on 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T signals as specified in the IEEE 802.3-2005 and
ANSI X3.263-1995 standards.
The QPHY-ENET option gives the user the ability to both automate compliance testing and debug devices, hosts
and hubs. Users may be specifically interested in the following capabilities:
• Users interested in compliance testing should begin by using QualiPHY.
• Users interested in debugging circuits, should begin by using the oscilloscope’s embedded test tools.
• Users that begin by using QualiPHY may detect failures on their device, and then have the option of
switching to the oscilloscope’s embedded test tools.
This manual covers the use of both QualiPHY (compliance testing) and the oscilloscope’s embedded test tools
(debugging).
The QualiPHY environment provides automated testing and report generation. For more information about
QualiPHY, see the QualiPHY Operator’s Manual (PDF document).
Compatibility
ENET is a software option compatible with the following LeCroy X-Stream™ oscilloscopes:
10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T
Oscilloscopes with a bandwidth of less than 1 GHz are not recommended for these standards.
Some tests requires at least 4 MS of memory in order to run (e.g. Mode 2 w/o clk Master Jitter on 1000Base-T).
