Table 3-6. General System Options (1 of 3)

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.

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 the 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, DSX, Internal, DBM

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. Failure of the clock specified by this configuration option results in automatic fallback to the Secondary Clock Source configuration option setting.

NOTE: For the Primary and Secondary Clock Source options, only Internal can be selected for both options. All other selections must have different settings (e.g., if Primary Clock Source is set to Net1, Secondary Clock Source cannot be set to Net1).

Net1 – The primary clock is derived from the Network1 T1 interface.

DSX – The primary clock for the unit is derived from the DSX-1 interface. This setting only appears if the DSX-1 interface is enabled (see Configuring the T3 User Port (9520-ILM)on page 3-41).

Internal – The primary clock is the internal clock.

DBM – The primary clock is derived from the DBM. This selection only appears if the DBM is installed and enabled.
