Test Timeout
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Enable
Determines if loopback and pattern tests terminate automatically. This setting does not
effect DTE-commanded tests or the LMI Packet Capture Utility feature.
Enable – All Loopback and Pattern tests have an automatic timeout. This setting is
recommended when the FrameSaver unit is managed remotely via an inband data
stream. If the FrameSaver unit is accidently commanded to execute a disruptive test on
the interface providing management access, control can be regained after the timeout
expires, causing the test to terminate.
Disable – Loopback and pattern tests must be manually terminated.
Test Duration (min)
Possible Settings: 1 – 120
Default Setting: 10
Specifies the maximum duration of user-initiated tests.
Display Conditions
– This option appears only when Test Timeout is set to Enable.
1 – 120 – Sets the Test Timeout period in minutes.
