Testing

Ending an Active Test

A test initiated by the user can be ended by the user. Tests can also be terminated automatically by enabling the Test Timeout option from the System Options Menu.

HA Test Timeout option is available to automatically terminate a Loopback or Pattern test (as opposed to manually terminating a test) after it has been running a specified period of time. The default is 10 minutes.

Refer to Table A-3,System Options.

HOn each test screen is a Command column. To stop the test, press Enter when the cursor is on the Stop command.

HUse the Abort Tests selection from the Test menu to stop all tests running on all interfaces, with the exception of network-initiated loopbacks. Command Complete appears when all tests on all interfaces have been terminated.

An aborted test may continue to run for a few seconds as the abort command is sent to the remote end and processed.

Telco-Initiated Line Loopback

The Hotwire 7984 Standalone Termination Unit supports line loopback as specified in AT&T TR 54016, AT&T TR 62411, and ANSI T1.403. A Telco-initiated line loopback loops the received signal on the DSX-1 interface back to the DSX-1 interface without modification. Framing, CRC, and FDL bits are returned unaltered, and no BPVs or other line coding errors are removed.
