The T‑BERD/MTS‑5800 can generate Layer 2 Ethernet traffic to measure Metro Ethernet performance KPIs. When equipped with the required software and Ethernet test options from 1G to 100G, it can send traffic head‑to‑head with another VIAVI tester or toward a loopback device. Using appropriate optical transceivers and matching cables, technicians configure the unit to create test frames, monitor throughput, latency, frame loss, and service availability. This quick card guides users through setup and execution, enabling accurate verification of Ethernet services and network performance during installation, turn‑up, and troubleshooting.
