Monitor Pattern

This test monitors packets filled with a hexadecimal 55 test pattern and sequence number over the selected interface and DLCI to another FrameSaver device.

To monitor a pattern test on a link:

Main Menu Test [Network PVC Tests/Data Port PVC Tests]

Monitor Pattern

The current number of sequence and data errors are shown under the Result column when the FrameSaver unit is in sync. An Out of Sync message appears when 5 frames out of 25 are missing or out of sequence.

These error counts are updated every second. If the maximum count is reached, 99999+ appears in these fields.

Connectivity

The Connectivity test is only available for multiplexed DLCIs.

Connectivity is a proprietary method that determines whether the FrameSaver device node at the other end of the frame relay PVC is active. This test stops automatically and can only be executed for multiplexed PVCs.

Main Menu Test [Network PVC Tests/Data Port PVC Tests]

Connectivity

Selecting Connectivity sends a frame to the FrameSaver device at the other end of the PVC. A RndTrip Time(ms) message appears in the Result column when a response is received within 5 seconds, indicating that the FrameSaver device at the remote end is alive (operational and connected), and the round trip (RT) time is shown in milliseconds (ms), with a resolution of 1 ms. If a response is not received within 5 seconds, No Response appears in the Result column.
