The office-level test loops over the LCMs or Star Hubs in an office and
performs the LCM-level test. The LCM-level test, in turn, loops over each
drawer of a given LCM and performs the drawer-level test, which actually is a
BRT.
Office parameters for test planning
Planning for the BRT uses the information from two new office parameters in
table OFCVAR: BICRELAY_XLCM_TEST_SCHEDULE and
BICRELAY_NUM_SIMUL_TESTS. These parameters allow the user the
flexibility to
• schedule the BRT from one to seven days a week
• define the window size
• define how many tests (LCM-level) run at the same time, as follows:
— BICRELAY_XLCM_TEST_SCHEDULE
– This parameter defines the start time (BRTST_START_TIME) and
stop time (BRTST_STOP_TIME) for the office-level test. These
times cannot be the same. The test window must be at least 10
minutes in length. The last field of this parameter
(BRTST_DAYS_OF_TST) indicates the day or days of the week
the office-level test runs (MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU). The
user can datafill up to seven days in any combination, but cannot
datafill the same day more than one time.
– If the start and stop times are the same or if the test window is less
than 10 min, an error message displays.
– If the user tries to make a change during the defined test window
(while the test is in progress), a message displays. The message
indicates that, if necessary, the user can stop the BRT using the
BICRELAY OFF command, make the necessary changes, and
restart the BRT using the BICRELAY ON command.
— BICRELAY_NUM_SIMUL_TESTS
– This parameter indicates the number of LCM-level tests to run at
the same time.
– The start and stop times of
BICRELAY_XLCM_TEST_SCHEDULE, plus this parameter,
configure the number of LCMs being tested.
– If the user tries to make a change during the defined test window
(while the test is in progress), a message displays indicating the
user must wait until the test stops. If the change is needed
immediately, the user can stop the BRT using the BICRELAY OFF
command at the command interpreter (CI) level. The user can then
make the necessary changes and restart the BRT using the
BICRELAY ON command.
