Description
1
Platform Test
This test is for factory use only. It performs
basic test of the CPU memory and IDE
interface.
2
Confidence Test
This test checks the optical and the electrical
paths. A basic signal continuity check is
performed. This involves verifying the signal
configuration by injecting/detecting a single
error.
3
Optical Power Test
This test checks both the data paths and the
optical power measurement circuitry.
4
DCC Add/Drop Test
The test checks the data paths associated
with the DCC add/drop hardware. The DCC
loopback should be fitted for this test.
7
Frequency Test
This test checks the data path through the
clock offset and frequency measurement
hardware. The test checks the absolute clock
offset frequency result.
9
Long Gating Test
This test is for factory use only.
11
Loop Back Test
This test is for factory use only.
12
Confidence Test 10 Gb/s
Optics
This test performs a confidence test on the
10 Gb/s optical paths only.
13
Confidence Test
2.5 Gb/s - 52 Mb/s
Optics
This test performs a confidence test on the
2.5 Gb/s - 52 Mb/s optical paths only.
