Modem/DSU Commands

Transmit Test Pattern (ttp)

(Disruptive)

Use the ttp command to turn on or off the test pattern generator in a DATAPHONE II or COMSPHERE 3600 Series DSU. If the generator is turned on, either at a control or tributary DSU, a test pattern is sent over the transmission path to the corresponding DSU.

For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.

Access Level:	Data Technician, Manager, System Administrator
Abbreviation:	Abbreviation: ttp
Restrictions:	For a DATAPHONE II DSU to receive the test pattern successfully, a DSU
	must be manually addressed at the Shared Diagnostic Unit and the test
	pattern generator must be turned on. This allows end-to-end tests to be
	conducted to isolate marginal trouble in either the send or receive direction
	of the digital path. The results of this test are displayed on the Shared
	Diagnostic Unit's liquid crystal display.
	For a 3600 Series DSU or an associated V.32 DBM to receive the test
	pattern successfully, the remote DSU or DBM must be in digital loopback.
	This directs the bit pattern back to the originating device where it is
	checked for errors. These errors are displayed on the front panel of the
	DSU. The results of this test can be displayed at the NMS by executing the
	Modem Bit Error Rate (mbert) command.
Routine:	Yes
Schedule:	Yes
Related Commands:	None
