Version 6.8 671 Mediant 500 E-SBC
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.
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.
