Troubleshooting
This section provides troubleshooting information that apply to your modems regardless of service type
mode. You learn how to perform diagnostic tests on installed ports or SPEs, configure automatic
recovery of ports on an SPE, and configure a scheduled recovery of SPEs.
Configure SPE Diagnostic Tests
You can perform three types of diagnostic tests on your SPE modem:
•
SPE Startup Test, page 5-9
•
SPE Auto-Test, page 5-9
•
SPE Back-to-Back Test, page 5-10
SPE Startup Test
To perform diagnostic testing on all your installed SPE ports during the system's initial startup or
rebooting process, in global configuration mode with the prompt displayed as
AS5350#
or
AS5400#,
enter the following command:
port modem startup-test—Perform diagnostic testing for all modems.
The results of the SPE port startup test are displayed in the show port modem test command output.
SPE ports that pass the diagnostic test are Pass, Fail, and Unkn. Ports that fail the diagnostic test are
marked as Bad. These ports cannot be used for call connections. Depending on how many ports are
installed, this diagnostic test may take from 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Perform additional testing on
an inoperative SPE port by executing the test port modem back-to-back command. The no port
modem startup-test command disables startup testing.
SPE Auto-Test
To perform diagnostic testing on all the installed SPE ports during the system’s initial startup or
rebooting process, or during service, in global configuration mode with the prompt displayed as
AS5350(config)#
or
AS5400(config)#,
enter the following command:
port modem autotest—Perform diagnostic testing for all ports.
The results of the SPE port auto-test are displayed in the show port modem test command's output.
Ports that pass the diagnostic test are marked as Idle, Busy, Downloading, and Reset, and are put into
service. Ports that fail the diagnostic test are marked as Bad, and are not put into service or tested again
until they are no longer marked as Bad. If all the ports of an SPE are bad, the corresponding SPE is also
marked bad. These ports cannot be used for call connections. Depending on how many ports are present
and not marked Bad, this diagnostic test may take from 5 to 10 minutes to complete. You may perform
additional testing on an inoperative port by executing the test port modem back-to-back command. The
no port modem autotest command disables testing.
