8. Troubleshooting

Starting and Stopping a Test

Use this procedure to start, monitor, or stop specific tests. To abort all active tests on all interfaces, see Aborting All Tests.

Procedure

To start and stop a loopback or set-pattern test:

1.Follow this menu selection sequence: Main Menu Test

2.Select an interface→and test (e.g., Network or Data Port PVC Tests) and press Enter. The selected test screen appears. Start appears in the Command column. Inactive appears in the Status column.

3.Select the DLCI number and press Enter if a PVC test has been selected.

The cursor is positioned at Start in the Command column of the first available test. Start is highlighted.

4.Select the test you want to start and press Enter. Stop now appears and is highlighted, and the status of the test changes to Active.

5.Press Enter to stop the test. Start reappears and the status of the test changes back to Inactive.

6.View the length of time that the test has been running in the Result column.

Aborting All Tests

Use the Abort All Tests selection from the Test menu to abort all tests running on all interfaces. To abort individual tests that are active, see Test Timeout Feature on page 8-16and Starting and Stopping a Test.

Procedure

To abort all tests on all interfaces:

1.Follow this menu selection sequence: Main Menu Test

2.Select Abort All→Tests and press Enter.

Command Complete appears when all tests on all interfaces have been stopped.

Abort All Tests does not interrupt DTE-initiated loopbacks.NOTE:
