Fast Ethernet Link Performance Test
This test ensures that the installed IFUs are functional and pass payload traffic
error-free, before the IFUs are added to the network. The Fast Ethernet test set
sends data packets to the near-end IFU. The near-end IFU transmits the data
packets to the far-end IFU, to the Fast Ethernet test set, and back.
To perform the link performance test:
1 Ensure that both the near-end and the far-end IFUs have been aligned.
2 At the near-end site power up the laptop and connect the Ethernet port to
the hub via CAT-5 cable (see Figure 4-4).
