Test Timeout

Possible Settings: Enable, Disable

Default Setting: Enable

Determines whether or not loopback and pattern tests have a duration after which they are terminated automatically. This setting does not effect DTE-commanded tests or the LMI Packet Capture Utility feature.

Enable ± All Loopback and Pattern tests have a timeout. This setting is recommended when the FrameSaver unit is managed remotely through an in-band data stream. If the FrameSaver unit is accidently commanded to execute a disruptive test on the interface providing the management access, control can be regained after the timeout expires, terminating the test.

Disable ± Loopback and pattern tests must be manually terminated.

Test Duration (min)

Possible Settings: 1 ± 120

Default Setting: 10

Specifies the maximum duration of user-initiated tests.

Display Conditions ± This option only appears when Test Timeout is set to Enable.

1 ± 120 ± Sets the Test Timeout period in minutes (inclusive).

Primary Clock Source

Possible Settings: Net1, Internal

Default Setting: Net1

Allows you to select the primary clock source for the unit. The source selected provides all of the timing within the FrameSaver unit and the clocks for all of the external interfaces.

Net1 ± The primary clock is derived from the Network1 interface.

Internal ± The primary clock is the internal clock.
