Parameter Possible Values Remarks
Port 1–Number of E1/T1
ports (4 or 8)
Index of E1/T1 port
Sync State Not Sync
Sync
Indicates if the E1/T1 port is synchronized. This parameter is
read-only and cannot be configured.
Note: The BERT is executed only if Sync State is Sync.
Bit Error Count 0-Number of bit errors Indicates how many errors occurred in test. This parameter is
read-only and cannot be configured

p2E11m1
Specifies the bit pattern to send
Send BERT On
Off
Set to On to start the test
Set to Off to stop the test.
Inject Error Select this to inject an error into the test.
Running OAM Tests
You can use loopback or link trace to test OAM connectivity and links.
Performing OAM Loopback
This diagnostic utility verifies OAM connectivity on selected virtual Ethernet
connections (flows). You can execute the loopback according to the destination
address or the maintenance end point (MEP).
³ To verify OAM connectivity according to the destination address:
1. Navigate to the OAM Tests Loopback menu (Main Menu > Diagnostics > OAM
Tests > Loopback (see
Figure 6-15 ).
2. Verify that Destination Type is set to Destination Address.
• If the destination address is all 0s or the number of loopbacks to send is 0,
the Send Loopbacks parameter does not appear in the screen.
• The Results parameter appears after the loopbacks are sent.
3. Define the test parameters according to Table 6-8 .
4. Select Send Loopbacks to send the specified number of loopbacks.
The loopbacks are sent.
5. Select Results.
 If you entered a Unicast MAC address (starts with 00), the Results screen
appears as illustrated in
Figure 6-16 . The result parameters are described
in
Table 6-9 .
