Performing Link Monitor Test (Normal Mode)

The link monitor test can be run from either a base station or a remote unit that is set to Normal Mode. The
test operates in parallel with the message stream, so it consumes some of the link's total data capacity. You
can control the ratio of test data to message data (and thereby control the amount of test data overhead) by
setting the link monitor period. See
Note: Link monitor test stays in effect even if you power cycle or reboot units, so you must turn it off using
the Link Monitor Period (0 = OFF) setting.
