The NuApps-MultiUnits-RM supports all XM-RM module cards andcan reserve the XM-RM module card’s ports on each testing window, where the testing result of eachwindow can be showed separately on a log file.
NuApps-MultiUnits-RM is designed for Xtramus Technologies XM-RM series module cards. The table
down below contains the XM-RM module cards, FPGA/Firmware/PROM versions that are supported by
NuApps-MultiUnits-RM.

Enable Learning: As shown in the figures down below, enabling this function allows learning
packets transmitted to the DUT before test packets are transmitted. If you disable this function, no
learning packets will be transmitted.

•

Frame Count: Repeat frame count per learning packets burst.

•

Frame Gap: Duration time between learning frames.

•

Delay Time After Learning: The time gap between after learning and the next process.

•Tx Pkt Timeout: If the system fails to send the learning packet within the time you set in TxPKT
Timeout field, the packet will be drop.

Total Packet Loss: If packet loss (including error packets) is higher then the value you set
here, the test result of the DUT will be fail.

¾

Total Packet Excess: If packets excess (including error packets) is higher then the value you
set here, the test result of the DUT will be fail. Packet excess happens when packet
transmission is bad and packets are resend multiple times, causing the amount of received
packets is more than sent packets.

5.33. CRC Error Test (CRC) _ PT2-CRC-1G (1000Mbps, Full Duplex)
Layer 2 1000Mbps Full Duplex CRC check Performance Test is to find if DUT can filter and discard
frames with CRC error.
A. Port Map•

Source/Destination Port: These two fields display the source/ destination port for the task. Ports
are displayed in IDs in the format of (X, Y, Z) while X is the number of the chassis (which isdisplayed on NuStreams-2000i/600i), Y is the slot number where this module card is installed, andZ is the available port number located on the module card.

•

Port Map: This field shows how test streams will be transmitted from port to port.

•

Æ: To assign how test streams flow from source port to the destination port, click a port from
Source Port, click a port from Destination Port, and then click Æ button to add them to the Port
Map.

•

Å: To remove a port map setting from Port Map, click the setting you would like to remove, andthen click Å button to remove it from Port Map.

•

Pair >: NuApps-MultiUnits-RM will match ports located on the same module card in a
back-and-forth manner, and add them to the Port Map.

•

Rotate >: NuApps-MultiUnits-RM will match ports so the last port will connect to the first port, thus
forming a loop. If you have the same amount of ports on your chassis and DUT, Rotate allows you
to test all DUT’s ports simultaneously.

•

Reset <: Remove all port map settings in the Port Map.

•

Window NO: You can view each Window number’s Port Mapping by scroll down this field andselect the Window No of your interest.

•

Next: instead of scrolling down the Window NO field, you may click this button to change andview the next Window’s Port Mapping.

•

Minimum Waiting Time: NuApps-MultiUnits-RM will halt at least for the Minimum Waiting Timeyou input here during auto-negotiation process.

•Media Type Waiting Timeout: If the time spent for auto-negotiation exceeds the Media Type
Waiting Timeout you set here, the test will stop and the test result will be fail.

•Media Type: By clicking the scroll-down menu, you can set the transmitting mode to Auto (withauto-negotiation), Force (without auto-negotiation), or Off (all the ports in this task are link-down).

during the set amount of time.
¾ Transmit by packet: The system will transmit the set number of packets. If
the system fails to send the test packet within the time you set in TxPKT
Timeout field, the packet will be drop. Also, you can set the content of thetransmitting packets with the Payload scroll-down menu.

•

Packet Gap Setting: You can set the gaps between packets in this field.
¾

Frame Gap: Duration time between frames. Increasing Frame Gap reduces
the fail rate, while 96 bit-time is wirespeed.

•

VLAN Setting: Add VLAN tag for test. VLAN (Virtual LAN) isa group of hosts with common requirements that
communicate within the same Broadcast domain regardlessof the physical location. By clicking the Setup button, you
can configure CoS (class of service) and VID (VLAN ID) on
the pop-up VLAN Setup window. Click Apply and apply all
the changes you’ve made here.

•

Wait for check result: The system will halt for the time you
set here before checking test result.

•

Wait for read counter: The system will halt for the set
microseconds before read the counters. This function isuseful for counters since they are stored in memory buffer
and the final counter value might take some time to read.

•

Enable Flow Control: When enabling this function, the transmitting rate will drop if traffic overflow
occurs. This function must be enabled under full-duplex.

•

Disable Check Result: When this mode is enabled, all test procedures will be carried out nomatter the result is Pass or Fail. This mode can only be access if you choose Transmit by Time in
the Packet Setting field.

•

Enable S/N Error Check: Selecting this option will enable the capturing of S/N Error.

•

Enable X-TAG offset: X-TAG is a 12-byte tag which is developed by Xtramus and embedded at49th~60th bytes of each testing frames generated by Rapid-Matrix for multi-stream tests. X-TAG
will be added to all the testing frames generated by NuApps-MultiUnits-RM.
