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).
Power Up Selftest
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Enable
Specifies whether a self-test runs when the unit is powered on. Disabling the self-test
reduces the time it takes for the unit to become operational.
Display Conditions
– This option only appears for Model 9820-45M.
Enable – The power-on self-test runs.
Disable – The power-on self-test does not run.
