Specs
• For multicast testing, if the unit has an active channel guide, the display will first present a channel
selection screen when the test setup is initiated. After channel selection, the normal setup screen will
appear, with the certain parameters prepopulated, such as the IP address and port. The use of a
channel guide, if available, is generally recommended. For more information, see Channel Guide
Settings on page 5-45.
• When you run a test, the input parameters are stored as defaults for the next test and persist
between reboots. The defaults are stored separately for each interface that supports Video QoS
testing. For example, the settings used for testing from the 10/100/1G interface would be stored
separately from those used for the modular MoCA interface.

Parameter Description
Channel Num
Channel Abbr
For multicast video only, if a channel guide was used, the channel number and
abbreviation that was selected in the previous screen. If no channel guide is
active, these fields do not appear. For more information on channel guides, see
About channel guides on page 5-45.
Multicast Stream IP
-or-
Destination IP Addr
IP address of the video stream. For multicast video, if you selected a channel
from the channel guide, this field is automatically populated.
The IP address specified must reflect the destination IP address for video stream
packets; that is, the first address contained in the IP packet headers. For a
multicast stream, this will be a multicast IP address, not an IP address of a host
on the network under test. For a unicast stream, this must be the IP address of
the destination device on the network, such as an STB. For a discussion on
multicast packet addressing and transport versus unicast, see About IP multicast
on page 5-35.
