Test Data
Except for the self tests, the test data is generated by the user through the DTE or may be
generated by an external bit rate error test (BERT). For self tests, and internal pattern generator
in the ALX produces the test data.
HOW TO SELECT AND ACTIVATE TESTS
All tests can be initiated from the modem’s front panel LCD and pushbuttons, and most tests can
also be initiated by AT commands when the ALX is in Hayes mode. To find the LCD screen for
a specific test, refer to the LCD flow chart in the back of this manual.
For specific instructions for each type of test, see the sections below titled
Prerequisite Steps –
All Tests and Specific Test Procedures
. These sections include instructions for preparing for and
running tests from the front panel and (where applicable) using AT commands.
Prerequisite Steps
For valid results from any of the digital loopback tests (DLB, RDL, and RDLST) or external
analog loopback tests (ALBX and ALXST), error correction must be disabled before diagnostic
tests are run. There are two ways you can disable error correction:
Using the front panel LCD:
Set the V.42 Mode option to OFF.
Using AT commands
(Hayes mode only): Enter the command
&F
to restore the Hayes
mode factory configuration; then enter
AT \N0
.
Test Duration and Termination
With the ALX in Hayes mode, you can set the duration of a test by assigning a value to register
S18. For example,
AT S18=30
sets the test time to 30 seconds. Alternately, you can use the
command
AT &TO
to terminate a test.
Remote Test Control
You can configure the ALX modem to ignore or accept requests from remote modems to initiate
tests on your ALX. To access the remote test control option, select TEST from SETUP screen 4.
Then select RMT from the TEST OPTIONS screen. From the REMOTE TEST screen, select
ENABLE to allow remote test initiation or DISABLE to refuse remote test requests.
