Test Timeout Feature
A Test Timeout feature is available to automatically terminate a test (as opposed to
manually terminating a test) after it has been running a specified period of time.
It is recommended that this feature be used when the
FrameSaver unit is remotely
managed through an inband data stream (PVC). If a test is accidently commanded
to execute on the interface providing management access, control is regained
when the specified time period expires, automatically terminating the test.
To use this feature, enable the Test Timeout configuration option, and set a
duration for the test to run in the Test Duration (min) configuration option (see
Configuring General System Options
in Chapter 4,
Configuration Options
).
NOTE:
These configuration options do not pertain to tests commanded by the DTE,
like a DTE-initiated External Loopback.
DBM Tests
The Test menu allows you to run PVC loopbacks and test patterns on the unit and
its DBM interface. It is available to users with a security access level of 1 or 2.
Currently, there are no physical tests for a BRI DBM interface.
DBM tests are started and monitored the same as the network tests. See
System
and Test Status Messages
in Chapter 7,
Operation and Maintenance
, for ISDN
backup-related test messages appearing on the System and Test Status screen.
See
PVC Tests
on page 8-22 on for additional information.
