Scope
This document covers Ethernet testing procedures used for Business Services customer activation,
fault isolation, and troubleshooting using the JDSU HST-3000 portable business services tester. This
document provides procedures for Metro Ethernet service up to 1 Gbps, including:
RFC-2544 is a recommended test suite for verifying key performance indicators for Metro Ethernet
service with a single class of service
This document mandates proper care, cleaning, inspection, and handling of fiber optic connectors. All
fibers and connectors must be cleaned and inspected when service is turned up on these fibers and
whenever a fiber is disconnected and reconnected.

User Interface:
Procedures are described for RFC-2544 Tests to verify throughput, round trip delay, jitter, and frame
loss SLA metrics. Technicians should follow procedure in one of the following sections, depending on
his location (A-side or Z-side) and whether he is using a T-BERD 5800, T-BERD 6000A, SmartClass
Ethernet, or HST-3000 test equipment. The RFC-2544 test is run from the A-Side. The Z-side is
placed in loopback.
2. Power On Press the green Power Key to turn on the HST-3000. Wait
approximately 1 minute for the Base Unit software to load.
3. Insert SFP For optical testing, insert desired SFP (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX)
into the optical SFP connector labeled R/T 1.
4. Clean & Inspect Before connecting to an optical link, make sure all fiber optic cables and
connectors are clean using a Fiber Inspection microscope.
5. Connect Connect the Ethernet test port to the Ethernet switch port under test.
Use Orange Multimode jumper cables for 850 nm 1000BASE-SX.
7. Configure Test Press the Configure Navigation key to configure test setting. If you
have previously saved configuration files, press the Save soft key, then
Load Config and Load RFC 2544 Config. Follow prompts to load
desired files. Using the Right Arrow key or Settings soft key, scroll
through Settings menus and configure/update your test as follows.
Leave all other values at factory default settings, unless specified in the
Work Order.
8. Save Config If your configuration file has not been previously saved, press the Save
soft key, select Save Config, enter a configuration file name, and press
OK. Press the Save soft key again, select Save RFC 2544 Config, enter
an RFC 2544 configuration file name, and press OK.
12. Check LED Results Press the Right Arrow key until LED Results are displayed. A Green
Signal Present LED indicates that the HST-3000 is receiving an optical
signal from the near end Ethernet Switch. Green Sync Acquired and
Link Active LEDs indicate that the HST-3000 has successfully
connected to the near end Ethernet switch and the Ethernet link is active.
13. Check ARP Status If you are running a Layer 3 IPv4 Test, verify that the final message in
the Message bar is ARP Done
14. Run Test Press the Action soft key and select Start RFC 2544. The HST-3000
will loop up the far end unit, and test Throughput, Delay, Jitter, and
Frame Loss. The test will take about 7 minutes to complete. At the
conclusion of the test, the HST-3000 will automatically loop down the
far end JDSU loopback device and create a test report in PDF format.
The filename, including a time and date stamp, will be displayed in the
RFC 2544 log. The report is saved to the /results/rfc2544 folder. It can
be viewed or copied to USB from the File Manager in the System menu.
15. View Summary Press the Right Arrow key and Next Frame soft key view status of all
tests. Verify that all tests PASS and the displayed values meet the
performance objectives of the line under test.
2. Power On Press the green Power Key to turn on the HST-3000. Wait
approximately 1 minute for the Base Unit software to load.
3. Insert SFP For optical testing, insert desired SFP (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX,
or 1000BASE-ZX) into the optical SFP connector labeled R/T 1.
4. Clean & Inspect Before connecting to an optical link, make sure the fiber and connector
are clean using a Fiber Inspection probe.
5. Connect Connect the Ethernet test port to the Ethernet switch port under test.
Use Orange Multimode jumper cables for 850 nm 1000BASE-SX.
7. Configure Test Press the Configure Navigation key to configure test setting. Using the

and configure your test as follows. Leave all other values at default,
unless specified in the Work Order.
9. Turn Laser On For optical testing, press the Action soft key and select Laser On.
10. Restart Press the Restart soft key to reset test results.
11. Check AutoNeg Stats For Electric (Copper/RJ-45) connections, if Auto Negotiation was
enabled in the Link Initiation Setup, press the Right Arrow key until
Auto-Neg Results are displayed. Verify that Link Config ACK = Yes
and Duplex = Full.
12. Check LED Results Press the Right Arrow key until LED Results are displayed. A Green
Signal Present LED indicates that the HST-3000 is receiving an optical
signal from the near end Ethernet Switch. Green Sync Acquired and
Link Active LEDs indicate that the HST-3000 has successfully
connected to the near end Ethernet switch and the Ethernet link is active.
13. Check ARP Status If you are running a Layer 3 IPv4 Test, verify that the final message in
the Message bar is ARP Successful
14. Test Inform the A-side technician that you are ready for test.
