Parameters
pva_conn_check
<portList>
Returns “ALL
PORTS
CONNECTED at
(link_rate)Base-T”
or FAILED
CONNECTIONS:
(list of test ports)
or “INTERMITTENT
CONNECTIONS:
(list of test ports)”
Automatically verify connections on all specified test ports to link
partners. Utilizes the Test PHY to link using flexible Auto-
Negotiation configuration, then assess link success or any link
intermittencies on each port. Reports link rate or range of link
rates accomplished.
portList: List of all PSA ports to be verified in slot,port format (no
braces required). Default is all test ports in connected PSA.
pva_link_wait
<port>
timeout
LINKED |
UNLINKED |
UNSTABLE
Monitors for a link-up to complete over a default or user-specified
time duration. Returns LINKED as soon as a link-up is detected.
NOTE: Utility uses pva_link_mon and will re-configure that
meter.
timeout Duration (in seconds) to wait for link success. Range is
5 to 30 seconds. Default is 10 seconds.
pva_stability_
check
<port>
Returns indication of auto-negotiation performance and
1000Base-T training time. NORMAL is nominal performance.
PRE_DISTORT indicates 1000Base-T link-up is unreliable
without connecting Line Loss impairment – an indictor of receiver
AGC issues. NO_RELINK indicates a 10/100 port fails to
reliably respond to link-partner induced “Restart Auto-Neg”
operation – an indicator of Auto-Neg issues.

Link-Up Times for
each Link Rate
specified in msec.
Measures precise time from physical connection until link-up
completed. Use to assess integrity of Auto-Negotiation process.
res 20: Measure with 20msec resolution. (Default value.)
res 50: Measure with 50msec resolution.
10: Test 10Base-T Link Timing.
100: Test 100Base-Tx Link Timing.
1000: Test 1000Base-T Link Timing.
AUTO: Test Link Timing with full Auto-Negotiated rate. \
Default is Auto-Negotiate for link rate.
MDI: Force UUT port to MDI.
MDI-X: Force UUT port to MDI-X.
Default is Auto-Negotiate MDI/MDI-X.
MASTER: Force UUT port to MASTER.
SLAVE: Force UUT port to SLAVE.
Default is Auto-Negotiate MASTER/SLAVE.
FULL: Force UUT port to FULL Duplex.
HALF: Force UUT port to HALF Duplex.
Default is Auto-Negotiate DUPLEX.
off_time: Duration of LAN disconnect prior to physical
connection. Range is 2 to 15 seconds. Default is 7 seconds.
