To review the results of the test, select Displ (Display)
and press the key to scroll through the results shown
in Table 4-3.
When the test is over, the top line displays Final

End-to-End Test

The End-to-End (EE) Test is used to analyze a control
and a tributary DSU or DBM, and the network circuit
between them in both directions independently. It

Bit Error Rate Test

The Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) is a session-
disruptive test that transmits a 511-bit pattern. It analyzes
the network circuit. It can monitor the results by putting
the remote DSU or DBM into Digital Loopback and
checking the returned pattern for errors, or by
simultaneously executing a BERT in the local DSU.
The test continues until aborted from the DCP or
NMS. This test can be run on a per-port basis if a
TDM/Flex is installed. A control DSU can initiate a Bit
Error Rate Test in a point-to-point or a multipoint
network. A tributary DSU can only initiate this test in a
point-to-point network.
If nondisruptive diagnostics are in effect (if Diag Type
is set to NonD), diagnostic data can be disrupted.
To display the results of the test, press F2 to select
Displ. The results are shown in
results of the test and clear the counters to zero, press F3
