Tab Function
IP Configurations
Configures the Altera MAC and PHY IP cores.
  • MAC configuration: TX pad and CRC insertion, RX pad and CRC removal, and the maximum frame length.
  • PHY configuration: Speed setting, duplex setting, and auto negotiation.
IP Status
Checks the Altera MAC and PHY IP core status.
  • MAC statistics counters and PHY status register report.
  • Verify the readiness of the IP cores for traffic.
Traffic Controller
Configures the traffic generator to start the traffic and monitor test results.
  • Packet Generator: Select the burst size, data pattern, payload length, and MAC address.
  • Packet Monitor: View the results of the RX data and throughput.
