counts the number of packets it receives successfully. The test results can be viewed on the
receiving ViPR.
Warning: When the unit is in test mode, it will not respond to RF activity from
other ViPR units. Test mode cannot be enabled (active) for more than 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, test mode will be automatically disabled and normal
communications will resume.

 Destination RF MAC address
The user enters the RF MAC address of the ViPR unit they wish to connect to. Format
0x00000FD4. The default RF MAC address is 0xFFFFFFFF, which will send a broadcast
packet to all ViPRs listening for the test packets.
 Number of packets to transmit
This is the total number of packets transmitted during the test.
 Delay between packets
The user can enter a delay in milliseconds between the packets being sent. Note: If a delay
is not present between packets, it may appear the transmitter does not unkey and is only
sending one long continuous packet.
 Packet data pattern
The user can choose between a Fixed or Random data pattern. Fixed data is highly
compressible; random data is not. Note: The ViPR has a data compression algorithm that
compresses the data before transmitting it.
