Test Control
Packet Blazer 327
Start/Stop|TX Button
Start/Stop|TX Button
The Start/Stop|TX button allows to manually start or stop any test as well
as to enable traffic generation (Traffic Gen & Mon).
To start the test:
Tap the Start button to start the test. Start is available when the test is
not running.
To stop the test:
Tap the Stop button to stop the test; the traffic generation (Traffic Gen
& Mon) also stops if it was enabled (TX button). Stop is available when
the test is running.
By default, a message is displayed when the test stops asking to
generate a report. To disable this feature, see Turn on Report
Generation on page 318. Nothing prevents the configuration and
alarm/error injection setup while the test has been stopped; thus, if a
report is required, it should be saved before changing any test
parameters to avoid discrepancy between the configuration and
results. See Report Button on page 316 to generate and save a report
file.
To enable traffic generation (available with Traffic Gen & Mon):
Tap the TX button to enable traffic generation for all enabled streams;
the test is also started if it was not running. While the test is running the
TX button is available to enable/disable traffic generation. Some
conditions, such as ARP not resolved, link down, etc., may prevent the
stream to be transmitted.
