Testing

Lamp Test

The DSU supports a Lamp test from the Test menu to determine whether all

LEDs are lighting and functioning 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:

ÐNetwork, such as the network-initiated CSU and DSU Loopbacks.

ÐDTE, such as the DTE-initiated Local Loopback.

HOn each test screen is a command column. Pressing Return when the cursor is on the Stop command stops the test.

HUse the Abort All 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 column of the System and Test Status screen. See Table 6-3,Test Status Messages, in Chapter 6, Monitoring the DSU.
