Figure 4-3 Bridged (passive) video testing
To set up the video test in this example, you should:
1. Connect the physical wires between the endpoints, from router-to-unit and unit-to-STB.
2. Verify that communications between the bridged endpoints are restored. In this example, you should
be able to see the video on the TV.
3. Set up and run the test on the unit.
The following notes apply:
Following successful IP Network Setup, you can also perform single-ended active tests while the
link is bridged, in either direction. In the previous example, you should be able to ping the STB if you
know its IP address, as well as anywhere upstream, including the internet.
You can use either crossover or straight-through Ethernet cables for any connections to the unit.
4.6.2 Passive Video QoS (Quality of Service)
(10/100/1G > Passive Tests > Unicast Video QoS)
-or-
(10/100/1G > Passive Tests > Multicast Video QoS > Video QoS)
From a quality analysis standpoint, passive video quality testing is generally identical to active testing,
except that instead of actively joining a video stream, the unit monitors an existing stream on a bridged
