If 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.
When 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.

8. Troubleshooting

PVC Tests

PVC tests can be run on a requested DLCI for a selected interface. Data Port PVC tests do not apply to the DSL router.

￿￿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 following example shows a FrameSaver DSL CSU/DSU’s PVC Test screen, with the multiplexed DLCI 550 selected. If the DSL router or a standard DLCI was selected, (Disruptive) rather than (Non-Disruptive) displays after Test, and the Connectivity test does not appear.

NOTE:

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