4.2 About the 10/100/1G ports and connections
The unit has two physical 10/100/1G ports which are connected internally by a functional Ethernet
switch. Therefore, when performing single-ended tests such as ping or traceroute, you may use either
port. When setting up an Ethernet bridge for passive tests, the order of the ports is likewise not important.
NOTE: On the physical port, the unit is able to auto-detect the receive and transmit channels; therefore
you may use straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables for any application.
4.3 10/100/1G testing diagram
The following diagram shows a typical setup for active, single-ended tests. For more information on the
setup for bridged, passive testing, see Passive testing on page 4-4.

4.4 IP Network Setup
(10/100/1G > IP Network Setup)
This function allows you to assign IP routing information to the unit in order to perform IP-based testing.
This function operates similarly to other interfaces; however, note that when launched from the
10/100/1G menu, the assigned IP information applies to the 10/100/1G interface/connection only.
