What is nms553DiagBeginSelfTest?

Starts a self-test on this interface with the selected pattern (511, 2047, QRS, or a user-programmed pattern) and scope (whole unit, covering both channel and network interfaces, or DSU-only, covering just the channel interface); a read always returns the read-only 'no self-test running' value, which cannot itself be set. Writing one of the 1-8 test-selection values is how a manager actually kicks off a self-test.
