Network Tests
Network tests control the activation of loopbacks and the initia- tion of data test patterns.
Network tests are run on the Network Interface (NI). You can select three different test configurations to determine the type of loopback and the pattern to run. Test results display in the LCD window.
Executing NETWORK TESTS will disrupt normal data flow unless only TST DS0S are selected for testing.
Loopback Tests
A number of different loopbacks can be invoked locally from the front panel, by
Network Interface Loopbacks
Network interface loopbacks (see Figure
Line Loopback
Line loopback loops all of the received data back toward the network. The transmitted data is the identical line code that was received, including any bipolar violations or framing errors.
Payload Loopback
Payload loopback is similar to line loopback, except that the framing is extracted from the received data and then regener- ated for the transmitted data.
