Asynchronous interface tests
Asynchronous interfaces require a loopback plug to be installed before the test
will operate. See “Cables and Loopback Plugs” on page -30 for details of how
to make a loopback plug. To start a test of an asynchronous interface, use the
command:
enable test int=asynn
where n is the interface number. This runs the test for 4 minutes. Use the show
test command (Test Facility chapter, Software Reference) to observe the test
progress.
Ethernet interface tests
The Test Facility does not test Ethernet interfaces on AT-AR026 PICs.
A loopback plug is required to run the first part of the Ethernet LAN test. See
“Cables and Loopback Plugs” on page -30 for details of how to make a
loopback plug. To start a test of an Ethernet interface, use the command:
enable test int=ethn
where n is the Ethernet interface number. This runs the test for 4 minutes. Use
the show test command (Test Facility chapter, Software Reference) to observe
the test progress.
ADSL interface tests
No loopback plug is required to test an ADSL interface. To start a test of an
asynchronous interface, use the command:
enable test int=adsln
where n is the interface number. Use the show test command (Test Facility
chapter, Software Reference) to observe the test progress.
WAN port tests
To fully test synchronous interfaces, an external tester (available from your
authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller) is required. A loopback plug
is not required to test BRI interfaces.
To start a WAN interface test, use the command:
enable test int=synn
or
enable test int=brin
where n is the WAN interface number. This runs the test for 4 minutes. Use the
show test command (Test Facility chapter, Software Reference) to observe the
test progress.
If a test fails, contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller.
