Testing

"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.

￿A 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:

ÐNetwork, such as the network-initiated Line and Payload Loopbacks.

ÐDTE, such as the DTE-initiated Data Channel Loopback.

￿On each test screen is a command column. Pressing Enter when the cursor is on the Stop command stops the test.

￿Use 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.
