stress

Functional testing of physical ports with continuous full-wire traffic. The
data packets are initially generated by the

MPX

, sent out the physical port,

and looped back through external cables or wrap plugs. Once the packets
are returned, modifications in the packets’ destination address allows the
packets to continuously circulate between the

NI

CPU

and the external

cables or wrap plugs for a predefined period. Once the predefined period
is reached the packets are returned to the

MPX

. The packets are checked

on a bit by bit basis by the

MPX

. If Ethernet type switch is tested, this test

requires the

desx.img

file to be in the flash memory. Stress test requires the

use of external cables or wrap plugs. The system will provide user with
instructions for setting up external cables or wrap plugs for stress test and
prompts the user for input upon completion of setup. For more informa-
tion on port tests, see Port Tests on page 36-9. For information on cables
required for the port test, see Omni Switch/Router Port Test Wrap
Cable/Plug Requirements
on page 36-10 for the Omni Switch/Router.
