TEST OVERVIEW
The DSU IV ESP performs a variety of diagnostic functions that
isolate portions of the circuit to identify the problem source. Tests
may be initiated and terminated through the front panel, VT 100
terminal, SNMP, or Telnet. In asynchronous mode, AT commands
can control the testing from the DTE interface. For synchronous
operation, V.25 bis commands can provide test control.
The unit also responds to standard DDS network tests initiated
from telco test centers. In addition, it can run several tests such as
local and remote loopbacks to aid in problem isolation. See Figure
13-1.
