The submarine communication system enters the routine maintenance state after you finish deployment, recover a fault, or re-obtain the baseline data. During the routine maintenance of submarine lines, you can observe the status of the lines by starting a comparison test. A comparison test automatically uses the same test parameters as the parameters for the current line test baseline, to generate an accurate comparison result, and to provide reference for alerts or alarms. You can start a comparison test in the single-test mode, to observe the current working status of a line at any time and compare the status with the baseline data.
Procedure
- In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose from the Function Tree.
- Select a line, click and select Start Comparison Test in Single-Test Mode.
NOTE: - After the test begins, the Current Working Status of the selected line is shown as Test Status. The window shows the remaining time and progress of the test.
- After the test ends, the Current Working Status of the selected line is shown as Idle Status.
- Optional: Click View Test Result to view the line test result.
