Running Network Tests

Network tests require the participation of your network service provider. 

To access the Network & G.703 Tests screen, follow this menu selection 
sequence:

Main Menu

Test

Network & G.703 Tests

Use the Command column to start or stop a test. When the Status column shows 
that a test is Inactive, Start is displayed; when a test is Active, Stop is displayed. 
Position the cursor at the desired Start or Stop command and press Enter. The 
Results column displays the test duration. 

Selecting a Stop command on the Network & G.703 Tests screen, or Abort All 
Tests from the Test menu, will not disrupt a network-initiated loopback.

When the Send and Monitor 511 test is active, ResetMon is available to reset the 
error counter to zero.
