Service Activation Test is an out-of-service test used to assess the proper
configuration and performance of Ethernet services. The test methodology, which is
described in the ITU-T recommendation Y.1564, applies to point-to-point and point-
to-multipoint connectivity in the Ethernet layer and to the network portions that
provide (or contribute to) the provisioning of such services.
The recommendation also defines the terms used in the Network Master
screens related to Service Activation Test.
ITU-T Y.1564 is designed around three key objectives:
To serve as a network
service level agreement
(SLA) validation tool, ensuring
that a service meets its guaranteed performance settings in a controlled test
time.
To ensure that all services carried by the network meet their SLA objectives at
their maximum committed rate, proving that under maximum load network
devices and paths can support all the traffic as designed.
To perform medium- and long-term service testing, confirming that network
elements can properly carry all services while under stress during a soaking
period.

The first step in running an application is to set up the port interfaces. This is
done on the Ports SetupPorts Setup screen, which also provides port status information.
The setup options and status information related to the Ethernet interface are
described in a separate section:
Ethernet Setup and Status
For applications also including an OTN interface, you can find a description of
the setup options and status information for OTN in the following section:
OTN Setup and Status
Please refer to the sections relevant for your current port setup requirements.
