User's Manual 50. Self-Testing
50 Self-Testing
The device features the following self-testing modes to identify faulty hardware
components:

Detailed Test (Configurable): This test verifies the correct functioning of the different
hardware components on the device. This test is done when the device is taken out of
service (i.e., not in regular service for processing calls). The test is performed on
startup when initialization of the device completes.
To enable this test, set the ini file parameter, EnableDiagnostics to 1 or 2, and then
reset the device. Upon completion of the test and if the test fails, the device sends
information on the test results of each hardware component to the Syslog server.
The following hardware components are tested:
•
RAM - when EnableDiagnostics = 1 or 2
•
Flash memory - when EnableDiagnostics = 1 or 2
•
DSPs - when EnableDiagnostics = 1 or 2
•
Physical Ethernet ports - when EnableDiagnostics = 1 or 2
•
UTOPIA Bridge - when EnableDiagnostics = 2
Notes:
•
To return the device to regular operation and service, disable the test by
setting the ini file parameter, EnableDiagnostics to 0, and then reset the
device.
•
While the test is enabled, ignore errors sent to the Syslog server.

Startup Test (automatic): This hardware test has minor impact in real-time. While
this test is executed, the regular operation of the device is disabled. If an error is
detected, an error message is sent to the Syslog.

Periodic Test (automatic): This test monitors the device during run-time. This test is
performed after startup, even when there is full traffic on the device (quality is not
degraded). This is a short test phase in which the only error detected and reported is
failure in initializing hardware components or malfunction in running hardware
components. If an error is detected, an error message is sent to the Syslog.
