To configure a BERT pattern for DS1/T1/E1, use one of the following commands:
PurposeCommand
Sends a BERT pattern on a line, where:
• channel-number—Number identifying the
specific T1 channel where you want to run
BERT.
• e1-number —Number identifying the specific
E1 channel where you want to run BERT.
• pattern—Specifies the type of repeating BERT
test pattern. Supported values are 0s, 1s, 1-in-8,
2^11, 2^15, 2^15-inverted, 2^20- O.153,
2^20-QRSS, 2^23, 2^23-inverted, 2^9, 3-in-24,
and alt-0-1.
• interval time —Specifies the duration of the
BERT test, in minutes. The range is 1 to 14400.
