PVC Tests

PVC tests can be run on a requested DLCI for a selected interface.

HWhen PVC tests are on a multiplexed DLCI between FrameSaver devices, they are nondisruptive to data, so user data can continue to be sent during a test.

HIf the device at one end of the circuit is not a FrameSaver device, PVC tests are on a standard DLCI and are disruptive to data. Also, the Connectivity test would not appear.

Loopback, and send/monitor pattern tests are available for each interface on the selected DLCI. FrameSaver devices should be at each end of the circuit. If a PVC Loopback is started at one end of the circuit, the other end can send and monitor pattern tests.

The example below shows a PVC Test screen for a FrameSaver unit with the multiplexed DLCI 550 selected. If a standard DLCI was selected, (Disruptive), rather than (Non-Disruptive), would be displayed after Test. Also, the Connectivity test would not appear.

NOTE:

Errors encountered during these tests may be caused by mismatched CIRs in the two FrameSaver devices. If errors are detected, verify the CIR configuration and retest.
