Send DS1 Payload Pattern with BER Test
Send DS1 Payload Pattern with BER Test
This command transmits a framed test pattern and performs a Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) or pattern
synchronization test to verify the quality of the DS1 signal reaching far-end CSU equipment, such as
the Access Bank II. When the operator requests a p2e, qrss, or all-ones test pattern, the Access Navigator
transmits the test pattern while using its internal Bit Error Rate Tester to measure the bit error rate. See
Figure 15-26. For the all-zeros and 1-in-8 patterns, the Access Navigator tests for pattern
synchronization.
After 10 seconds the pattern is turned off and the test results from the BERT or pattern sync are
displayed in a CLI message. (The
send
ds1
<n>
off
command is not required to turn off the pattern.)
NOTE:
The DS1 must be set Out of Service, using the
set
ds1
<n>
down
command,
before you can use loopbacks or test patterns.
NOTE:
Put the remote CSU in payload loopback mode before using this command for BER
testing. (See
DS1 CSU Loopup
on
page 15-31
.)
NOTE:
The internal Bit Error Rate Testers (BERTs) are always monitoring the DS1 inputs.
Anytime a BER test pattern is present, whether internally or externally generated, the BER for
the last one-second interval can be displayed using the
status
ds1
command (see
Status
DS1
on
page 15-13
). Bit errors are also recorded in the BERT log (see “BERT Log” on
page 7).
NOTE:
This command works with ESF and D4 (SF) framing.
NOTE:
The p2e patterns are intended only for Access Navigator loop tests and for tests
between two Access Navigators. Other test equipment will not recognize these patterns.
