Hobbes GIGATEST Compact Gigabit Ethernet Tester 256852 is an incredibly versatile and innovative tool for on-site testing, analysis, and management of complex Gigabit network installations. Hobbes GIGATEST works by pair with a one module as Lord and another module as Servant to test data transmission automatically without the necessity of multiple technicians. Hobbes GIGATEST can also test asymmetrical network installations such as ADSL where downstream speeds are much faster than upstream.

Function Mode by RotarySwitch (0~F) | |
0, Servant mode | Switch to Servant mode and accepts control from Lord |
1, Short Packet | Symmetrical and bi–directional short packets (64 bytes length) test with test result. |
2, Long Packet | Same test as function 1 with long packets (1518 bytes length). |
3, Random Packet | Same test as function 1 with random (64~1518 byteslength) packets. |
4, BERT Loopback | Lord send BERT pattern to Servant for Loopback test by swapping DA and SA. |
5, Mesh Loop | Lord sends test packets to the 1st Servant, then the 1st Servant forward packets to 2nd Servant. It is repeated until packets return to Lord. |
