Selftest
Selftest
executes a system self-test, and the LCD displays the
Pass
or
Fail
when
the test is complete.
The
Sefltest
option disrupts data flow.
Run Selftest
This command initiates a self-test. When you select this option, the prompt
Selftest, Are You Sure Y/N? displays. To initiate the self-test, select Y and
press Enter . Select N and press Enter to cancel the self-test.
If you select Y and proceed with the self-test, the LCD displays the message
Selftest in progress.... When the self-test is complete with no failures
detected, the OK LED illuminates and the LCD momentarily displays
Self-Test Passed. If failures are detected, a list of failures displays in the
LCD window.
The full self-test procedure consists of the following steps:
1.
Board-level tests.
The Controller contains an on-board processor which executes a series of
tests checking the circuitry on the board.
2. RAM tests;
EPROM checksum.
3. TDM map tests.
4. On-board data path.
Sending a known test pattern through an on- board loop.
5. Board-to-board interface test.
A test pattern is sent from the controller through a loopback on all other
boards and checked on the controller. This verifies the data path, clocks,
and control signals.
During a self-test, ATLAS _ 800
PLUS
checks data integrity and verifies proces-
sor control to each port. Each port is looped back and a data pattern is sent
and tested.
