Test Facility

The Test Facility is designed to test the switch's physical interfaces. Testing
should not be performed while the switch is operational as the presence of a
loopback plug may cause feedback of network traffic. Also, any interfaces
being tested are dedicated to the Test Facility. The Test Facility can be thought
of as a specialised interface module like PPP or Frame Relay.
The Test Facility is built into all AT-8600 Series software. For detailed
information on operating the Test Facility, see the Test Facility chapter of the
AT-8600 Series Software Reference.
