Live Mode Safety

Live mode transmits raw Ethernet Sampled Values traffic on the selected network adapter.

Use live mode only when

• you are on an isolated lab network, process-bus test bench, or direct point-to-point setup
• the selected adapter is the intended adapter
• the target relay / subscriber is expected to receive test traffic
• the APPID, VLAN, destination MAC, and smpSynch compatibility behavior have been reviewed

Before starting live publish

Confirm the following:

• correct adapter selected
• Npcap installed and working
• application running with sufficient privileges
• correct destination multicast MAC
• correct APPID and VLAN
• expected sample rate
• chosen smpSynch mode is understood: compatibility modes help relay readability, but do not prove real PTP accuracy

Important

ARSVIN is for lab publishing, relay readability checks, and traffic experiments.

It is not intended to be used as a certified protection commissioning authority or calibrated acceptance-test source.

Preflight behavior

Warnings are advisory and do not block KM Looptest / point-to-point lab publishing. Fatal errors still block live publish when ARSVIN cannot build or send a valid stream.
