"Procedure
To run a Monitor Pattern test:
1. Position the cursor at the Start command next to Monitor QRSS on the Data
Port Tests screen.
2. Press Enter.
The Start command is changed to Stop. If you want to manually stop the test,
verify that the cursor is positioned at the Stop command.
The Send and Monitor Pattern tests cannot be started when any loopback is
already active on the data port.
Lamp Test
The Lamp test determines whether all LEDs are lighting properly.
During the Lamp test, all LEDs blink simultaneously every second. When you
stop the Lamp test, the LEDs are restored to their normal condition.
Ending an Active Test
A test initiated by the user can be ended by the user.
HA Test Timeout option is available to automatically terminate a user-initiated
Loopback or Pattern test (as opposed to manually terminating a test) after it
has been running a specified period of time. Refer to Table A-1, System
Options.
Test Timeout does not pertain to tests commanded by the:
— Network, such as the network-initiated Line and Payload Loopbacks.
— DTE, such as the DTE-initiated Data Channel Loopback.
HOn each test screen is a command column. Pressing Enter when the cursor
is on the Stop command stops the test.
HUse the Abort Tests selection from the Test menu to stop all tests running on
all interfaces, with the exception of network or DTE-initiated loopbacks.
Command Complete appears when all tests on all interfaces have been
terminated.
Test status messages appear in the right-most column of the System and Test
Status screen. See Table 6-4, Test Status Messages, in Chapter 6.
