Description

 

 

 

 

QRSS

 

Produces a quasi-random test pattern.

3 in 24

Produces a bit pattern consisting of 3 ones in 24

 

 

 

(1000 1000 1000 0000 0000 0000).

All

zeroes

Produces a test pattern of all zeroes.

All

ones

Produces a test pattern of all ones.

 

 

 

 

After starting a BERT test, press Monitor to view the progress of the test. One of the following results will be displayed.

No Synch—Indicates that the BERT test pattern is not being successfully received back.

Sync-Errors—Indicates that the BERT test pattern is being successfully received. The console displays the number of bit error detected. For overflow situations “99999” is displayed.

To refresh the display, press Back, and then select Monitor. This refreshes the test results without terminating the test.

Note – During BERT testing, the INA module transmit clocking is derived from the backplane of the MERLIN MAGIX. The remote end of the T1 connection must be set up as either the clock slave for the T1/PRI interface, or must provide a line loopback.

INA Module System Interactions

Backup and Restore

Like the 100D module, any programming done on the MERLIN MAGIX for the INA module can be backed up and restored with the system Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card or by a PC running WinSPM. The new administration options for the INA module (CSU Activate/Deactivate and DSU Channel Selection) are included.

Note – Administration data associated with the router is not backed up and restored by the MERLIN MAGIX backup functions. Router administration data must be backed up and restored separately by using PMVision (see Chapter 6, “Using PMVision”). The INAWizard may be used to restore the basic network settings, but is not a true backup. (See Chapter 4, “Using the INAWizard”.)

Surrogate Operation

The INA module supports surrogate mode programming. The INA module is indicated on MERLIN MAGIX system programming screens by the label 100R-U.
