Test Branch
The Test branch of the Top-Level menu allows you to initiate various modem tests. Use these tests
if you are having data communication problems, such as periodic character loss, random errors, or
constant format errors. By the process of elimination, you can usually isolate the fault in your
system.
There are six selections under Test: Abort, Self (Self-Test), Loc Analog Loop (Local Analog
Loopback), Rem Digital Loop (Remote Digital Loopback), Loc Digital Loop (Local Digital
Loopback), and Pattern. The only tests that can operate concurrently on a single modem are Pattern
with a Local Analog Loopback and Pattern with a Remote Digital Loopback. If any test is
operating, besides the two combinations just mentioned, it must be canceled before starting another
test.
The Test branch only initiates and cancels tests. If parameters need to be set, refer to the Tests
section in Chapter 4.
