1.0 Product Introduction

VeEX™ MX100 and MX120 Ethernet Expert test sets are next generation of Metro and Carrier Ethernet field test equipment for

Ethernet Networks. The units are lightweight, rugged and weather resistant, and feature Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet test

ports complete with advanced Triple Play verification capabilities. The MX100 and MX120 test sets can be used in conjunction with

the MPX100 loopback device offering simplified network testing and monitoring.

MX100 Introduction:

The MX100 is part of the MX product family and is configured for;

Single port operation

Single Copper port 10/100/1000Base-T

Single Fiber port 1000Base-X

Test Applications: When the unit is operating in any of the physical ports above, each port is enabled to run the same

test application.

BERT - Unframed / Framed Layer 1, and Framed Layer 2/3 Ethernet traffic generation with user selectable test

pattern for Bit Error Rate analysis.

RFC 2544 - Throughput, Back-to-Back, Frame Loss and Latency conformance tests in accordance with RFC 2544

specifications.

Throughput - Ethernet traffic generation and analysis with multiple-streams to verify network throughput and jitter

Loopback - Loop back the transmitted data while swapping the source and destination addresses of the MAC, IP

and UDP layers.

MX120 Introduction:

The MX120 is part of the MX product family - in essence the MX120 is similar to having two MX100's in one chassis. The default

configuration of the MX120 allows for single port operation (same as the MX100) and pass through monitor mode. Pass through

monitor mode enables bidirectional monitoring between the two 1000Base-X ports or the two 10/100/1000 Base-T ports.

Dual Port operation

When the dual port interfaces and software options are enabled, the test set can operate a combination of two ports at the

same time with the following physical port operation combinations:

Port 1 10/100/1000Base-T and Port 2 10/100/1000Base-T (copper ports only)

Port 1 1000Base-X and Port 2 1000Base-X (fiber ports only)

Port 1 10/100/1000Base-T and Port 1 1000Base-X (copper and fiber port combination)

Port 1 (Throughput) and Port 2 (Throughput)

Port 1 (Loopback) and Port 2 (any application)

Port 1 (any application) and Port 2 (Loopback)

Port 1 (Loopback) and Port 2 (Loopback)

Test Applications: When the unit is operating in any of the physical ports above, each port (single or dual) will be

enabled to run the same test application.

BERT - Unframed / Framed Layer 1, and Framed Layer 2/3 Ethernet traffic generation with user selectable test

pattern for Bit Error Rate analysis.

RFC 2544 - Throughput, Back-to-Back, Frame Loss and Latency conformance tests in accordance with RFC 2544

specifications.

Throughput - Ethernet traffic generation and analysis with multiple-streams to verify network throughput and jitter

Loopback - Loop back the transmitted data while swapping the source and destination addresses of the MAC, IP

and UDP layers.

When the MX120 is operating in any of the physical port combinations described above, each port will by enabled to run the same

application (BERT, RFC 2544, Throughput). The configuration parameters (header, bandwidth, etc) for each application (on each of

the ports) are completely independent from one another - for example;

Port 1 (RFC 2544) and Port 2 (RFC 2544)

Port 1 (BERT) and Port 2 (BERT)

4.0 Basic Operations

4.1 Keypad

The keypad comprises the following keys:

MX100/120 e-Manual D07-00-004 Rev A04

Page 9 of 115

Power key: The unit is powered on and off from the red key on the keypad. The button is recessed to prevent accidental

power on. Press the key for 3-5 seconds to turn the unit on. To turn off the unit, press the power key for at least 2

seconds. If the unit does not respond, holding the power key down by more than 10 seconds will force the unit to switch off.

Save key: Saves test results in the unit's memory. If the measurement is still running, it will provide a snap shot the

moment the key is pressed. The Save function provides automatic storage with automatic naming and time stamping

function. To process a stored file, please go to files.

History key: The history key resets any blinking LED due to a history condition. For more details on the LED, please go to

LEDs.

Help key: The help key brings the user to the online help, regardless of the current user interface location of the unit.

Lock key: Locks the keypad

Home key: Bring the unit to its home menu regardless of its location on the user interface.

Arrow key: The arrow key moves the cursor in any of the four supported directions (left, right, up, down). The arrow key

works in conjunction with the Enter and Escape keys.

Enter key: The enter key provides an enter sequence to the user interface. It is used in non touch-screen operation mode

to enter menus and functions.

Escape key: The escape key provides an escape sequence to the user interface. It is used in non touch-screen operation

mode to escape menus and functions.

Go back to top

4.2 Touch-Screen Display

The LCD supports touch-screen operation. To operate the touch-screen, use the stylus located in the top cover to navigate the

menus and tabs. The unit can also be used in a non touch-screen mode i.e. use the arrow, enter, and escape keys to navigate.

The location of the cursor on the screen is indicated by a focus state. The focus state varies depending on the function or section

of the test set. Please observe the following precautions;

Never use excessive pressure on the touch-screen as this may damage its functionality

Never use sharp objects such as a pen, screwdriver etc. as this may damage the surface

Clean the surface of the touch-screen using a soft cloth and mild detergent only. Do not use alcohol.

Go back to top

4.3 Battery

The VPAL300 chassis is equipped with an intelligent Lilon rechargeable battery pack which is located in the rear of the unit. The

battery will be partially charged upon delivery, so it is recommended to charge the battery fully before use. Please charge the

battery at room temperature to preserve its life and to obtain maximum charge. The battery is charged during operation provided

the unit is connected to the AC Mains using the supplied AC adapter. Removing the battery, while the unit is powered on is not

recommended - this may result in damage. Remove the rubber cover on the left side to connect the AC Main adapter to the unit.
