TEST (T) command, you will be prompted to choose which of the five tests you wish
to initiate. The prompt will appear similar to
Tests may be performed once, repeatedly for between 1 and 98 minutes, repeatedly
for between 1 and 10 minutes, or continuously (selected by entering 99 minutes),
depending on the test, until the specified duration passes, or a STOP TEST (S)
command is entered. Tests will continue for the duration specified even if a failure
occurs. Only a STOP TEST (S) command terminates a test requested to run
continuously.
During a test, if an invalid word is received, a failure peg counter increases by one.
This peg counter's maximum capacity is 65,000. At the end of the test, the Test Results
message will indicate how many failures, if any, occurred during the test. If the counter
reaches 65,000, it will remain there until reset.
Test 1 listed above is a test that can be run while the MCR Circuit Pack is on line. The
On-line Carrier test will indicate whether or not there is a failure, but does not indicate
where the failure has occurred.
Tests 2 through 4 are off-line diagnostic tests and must be run when the MCR Circuit
Pack on which the tests are being run has been disabled, since the testing will interfere
with call traffic. By using the off-line tests in tandem, you will be able to isolate a failure
to a field-replaceable component such as the near-end MCR, the distant-end MCR, or
the network equipment.

The following sections explain how to initiate these tests in MMI and each test's function.
A verbose mode is also available for the user. This mode provides a display of in-progress test
results and allows the user to see exactly which port, or ports are not passing the test. The
command to activate the verbose mode is TEST VERBOSE (T V).
