Global Test Status and Controls

Current status: Indicates the current alarm/error status of the test. A
grey background indicates that the test is not running (--), a green
background indicates that there is no alarm/error (NO ALARM), while
a red background indicates that at least one alarm/error condition has
occurred in the last second (ALARM).

Note: The history and current alarm/error status are monitored once the test is

started.

Verdict: Gives the verdict, PASS (green background) or FAIL (red
background) of the test according to the defined threshold settings.
Verdict is only displayed with EtherSAM, RFC 2544, and BERT tests. For
RFC 2544 and BERT tests, at least one of the Enable criteria check
boxes must be selected. Refer to EtherSAM Tabs on page 321 or to
Expert Mode Tabs on page 363 (RFC 2544 and BERT tests) for more
information.

The test timer indicates the time elapsed since the beginning of the
test. The test timer format is day hour:minute:second.
