2 Digital Signature Information Point-to-Point Interoperability Test Suite v2.3 Report This document was created using an Adobe digital signature. A digital signature helps to ensure the authenticity of the document, but only in this digital format. For information on how to verify this document s integrity proceed to the following site: If the document status still indicates Validity of author NOT confirmed, then please contact the UNH-IOL to confirm the document s authenticity. To further validate the certificate integrity, Adobe 6.0 should report the following fingerprint information: Result Key MD5 Fingerprint: DC2 368A 0CC0 A1D7 792C D70C SHA-1 Fingerprint: BF96 86A2 E C8EA B9F8 1E10 BF22 1D61 3CE4 The following table contains possible results and their meanings: Result PASS PASS with Comments FAIL Warning Informative Refer to Comments Not Applicable Not Available Borderline Not Tested Interpretation The Device Under Test (DUT) was observed to exhibit conformant behavior. The DUT was observed to exhibit conformant behavior however an additional explanation of the situation is included, such as due to time limitations only a portion of the testing was performed. The DUT was observed to exhibit non-conformant behavior. The DUT was observed to exhibit behavior that is not recommended. Results are for informative purposes only and are not judged on a pass or fail basis. From the observations, a valid pass or fail could not be determined. An additional explanation of the situation is included. The DUT does not support the technology required to perform these tests. Due to testing station or time limitations, the tests could not be performed. The observed values of the specified parameters are valid at one extreme, and invalid at the other. Not tested due to the time constraints of the test period. UNH-IOL GE Consortium 2 Report Rev. 1.0

3 GROUP 1: POINT-TO-POINT (PTP) INTEROPERABILITY TESTS: Comments on Test Procedure: Test #1.1.1 Link Speed Detection Part A Case 1: This test entails powering off the link partner and DUT, connecting a compliant high attenuation line between them and then powering on the DUT. After the DUT has completed the booting process, the link partner is powered on. Once the link partner has booted up, a link should be established between the two devices and traffic should be able to be transmitted between them. Refer to the following tables for further information regarding the results of this test. Case 2: This test mimics Case 1 except that the link partner is powered on prior to the DUT. Refer to the following tables for further information regarding the results of this test. Case 3: This test entails powering on the DUT and the link partner separately and then connecting them together once they have booted up and have been configured such that each device is auto-negotiating. Traffic is then sent from one of the two devices and checked at the other end for correct reception. Refer to the following tables for further information regarding the results of this test. Test #1.1.1 Link Speed Detection Part B A valid highest common denominator connection between the DUT and a testing station is established over a high attenuation cable plant. The link is then broken and established with another device configured to send link signaling at a speed other than the HCD. The link is broken once again, and an HCD link is re-established with the testing station. For all compatible speeds, the DUT should detect and link at the appropriate link speed and duplex. Refer to the following tables for further information regarding the results of this test. Test #1.1.3 Packet Error Ratio Estimation High Attenuation Channel: The two devices are connected to each end of the channel with a 5-meter cable. The high attenuation channel is 125 meters long. A number of ICMP echo requests (Refer to the Ethernet Physical Layer Interoperability Test Suite: Appendix A Table A-1) are sent to verify that traffic can successfully be sent between the link partners. The number of packets lost is noted. Refer to the following tables for further information regarding the results of this test. Low Attenuation Channel: The two devices are connected to each end of the channel with a short 5-meter cable. The low attenuation channel is 10 meters long. A number of ICMP echo requests (Refer to the Ethernet Physical Layer Interoperability Test Suite: Appendix A Table A-1) are sent to verify that traffic can successfully be sent between the link partners. The number of packets lost is noted. Refer to the following tables for further information regarding the test results. Test #1.1.4 Endurance Stress Test This test is designed to verify that no obvious buffer management problems occur when directing a large volume of traffic with minimum IPG at the DUT. This test is informative only and is designed to verify that the DUT has no obvious buffer management problems. The DUT is attached to a sourcing station that is capable of sending an appropriate number of 64-byte ICMP echo requests with a minimum IPG of 96BT (Refer to the Ethernet Physical Layer Interoperability Test Suite Table 1-6). The DUT does not have to respond to all of the requests but the test should not cause any system failures. Refer to the following tables for further information regarding the results of this test.

4 Channel Plots Included with this report is a series of plots that provide a characterization of the channels over which the testing was performed. The plots include the following items: Attenuation plots taken for each channel. Near end cross talk (NEXT) plots taken from both ends of each channel (Both the DUT and the testing station). The DUT end is labeled as Near End Crosstalk and the testing station end is labeled as Near End Remote. Return Loss plots taken for each channel, at the DUT and at the testing station. The DUT is labeled as Return Loss and the testing station end is labeled as Return Remote. Test Matrix The matrices are divided into sections according to the type of device being tested against. Each matrix contains four columns: The manufacturer and name of the device being tested against. Results of link speed detection testing. Results of the packet error ratio test over a high attenuation Category-5 compliant channel at 60. Results of the packet error ratio test over a low attenuation Category-5 compliant channel at 60.

The DUT does not have to respond to all of the requests but the test should not cause any system failures. Comments on Test Results While passing 46,800, byte frames over maximum attenuation with the minimum IFG, the DUT did not exhibit any system errors. 22,585,192 frames were responded to appropriately on low attenuation side of the test setup, while 20,492,654 frames were responded to appropriately on the maximum attenuation side of the test setup.
