PVC Loopback

The PVC Loopback loops frames back to the selected interface on a per-PVC

basis. This test logically (not physically) loops back frames received from another

FrameSaver device through the selected frame relay PVC to the same device.

Send Pattern

This test sends packets filled with a hexadecimal 55 test pattern and sequence

number over the selected interface and DLCI to another FrameSaver device.

To send a pattern test on a link:

Main Menu →Test →[Network PVC Tests/Data Port PVC Tests]→

Send Pattern

If the selected

DLCI is configured as . . . Then . . . And the default

Rate (kbps) setting is . . .

Standard (Disruptive) appears

after Test 100% of CIR

Multiplexed (Non-Disruptive)

appears after Test 10% of CIR

If the CIR is zero, the pattern will be sent at a rate of 1000 bps.
