If any MAC tests fail, check that the MAC is correctly installed in its slot and repeat the
tests. Contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller if the MAC does not
operate correctly.
Once the MAC is operating, its functionality can be tested either by using the
Test Facility software, which is built into the router, or by configuring a module
to use the MAC. For more information about configuring interfaces, see the
“Compression and Encryption Services” chapter of your router’s Software
Reference.
Using the Test Facility to Verify Operation
The built-in Test Facility software is the easiest way to verify the operation of a
MAC.
See the Test Facility chapter of your router’s Software Reference for more information
about the Test Facility.
To run the Test Facility for a MAC, use the command:
ENABLE TEST INTERFACE=MAC
The test will run for 4 minutes. To view the results of the test at any time, use
the command:
SHOW TEST
Figure 60 on page 97 shows a typical output. The status of the test will be
shown in the right-hand column. For further information on the meanings of
the other figures, see the “Test Facility” chapter of your router’s Software
Reference.

If you are unsure about running the Test Facility, or have difficulty evaluating
the results then contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller.
