Test Timeout Feature
A Test Timeout feature is available to automatically terminate a test (as opposed
to manually terminating a test) after it has been running a specified period of
time.
It is recommended that this feature be used when the FrameSaver unit is
remotely managed through an inband data stream (PVC). If a test is accidently
commanded to execute on the interface providing management access, control is
regained when the specified time period expires, automatically terminating the
test.
To use this feature, enable the Test Timeout configuration option, and set a
duration for the test to run in the Test Duration (min) configuration option (see
Configuring General System Options
in Chapter 3,
Configuration
).
NOTE:
These configuration options do not pertain to tests commanded by the DTE,
like a DTE-initiated External Loopback.
