Traffic Generation
DURATION has two options; either TIME which sends a constant stream
of packets from the LANEXPERT for a user-defined amount of time or
FRAMES sends a user-defined amount of packets. Once the defined
amount of packets is reached, the LANEXPERT will stop sending
packets. To change the PACKET count, select the editable field buttons
next to the word FRAMES. This will display a numerical keyboard to
change the number of frames in Kilobytes or Megabytes to send. A valid
entry is 0 to 9,999K or 0M to 999,999M. After entering a valid number,
select ENTER to return to the TRAFFIC GENERATION parameters screen.
