ARGUS 165

10 Se Tests

The status screen (see explanation page 93) shows four services.



Each service can be used to conduct an entire suite of IP tests (see list below). It is also
possible to start and stop each service independently of the others.

Example screen with the possible services



The meaning of the symbols, s. page 95.

Once a service is activated, a variety of tests can be started using

<Test>

.

Possible tests that can be executed using the various services.

<Edit>

Assigns the service a VL
profile and configures the
service.

<Profile>

Configures the profile.

<Start>

Activates the service. If
virtual lines and the physical
layer are not active, they are
also automatically started as
well.
