at the bottom of the page and wait
until the Ethernet Rx Packets counter has reached 1 million.

If the counter does not increment or increments too slowly, because for
example the PTP 600 is newly installed and there is no offered Ethernet
traffic, then abandon this procedure and consider using the procedure

.

Check the Ethernet Rx Crc And Align counter. The test has passed if
this is less than 10.
Test Ethernet packet errors reported by managed switch or
router
If the PTP 600 is connected to a managed Ethernet switch or router, it may be possible
to monitor the error rate of Ethernet packets. Please refer to the user guide of the
managed network equipment.
The test has passed if the rate of packet errors reported by the managed Ethernet
switch or router is less than 10 in 1 million packets.
