3.16.4 Using the Bert Test Set
If a BERT (bit error rate test) set and another Loop-IP 6610 are available, such as the Fireberd 6000, then a
comprehensive suite of test are available to examine the health of the Loop-IP 6610. If another Loop-IP
6610 is not available, use of the loopback plugs would provide some of the tests otherwise possible.
With a BERT, each of the ports of the Loop-IP 6610 can be tested individually. The user must configure the
BERT in the exact way the Loop-IP 6610 is configured. This is easily done by comparing each of the options
one by one. After checking that the configuration matches, if any one of the ports fails, then Loop-IP 6610
has failed.
