Troubleshooting the Serial SPAs
The following table provides information about some additional BERT patterns supported by some of the
channelized SPAs on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers:

Single Bit Error Injection
Both the total number of error bits received and the total number of bits received are available for analysis.
You can set the testing period from 1 minute to 14,400 minutes (240 hours), and you can also retrieve the
error statistics anytime during the BER test.
When running a BER test, your system expects to receive the same pattern that it is transmitting. To help
ensure this:
• Use a loopback at a location of your choice in the link or network. To see how to configure a loopback,
• Configure remote testing equipment to transmit the same BER test pattern at the same time.
Configuring a BER Test
To send a BER test pattern on an interface, use the bert pattern command. For more information, see the
Configuring the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA chapter.
