Second-Generation Channel Interface Processor (CIP2) Installation and Configuration 45
Running Diagnostic Tests
If you suspect that an adapter might be the cause of a problem you are seeing, you can run a single
pass of the diagnostic tests on an installed PCA or ECA interface by entering configuration mode
and specifying that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration subcommands, as
follows:
Router# configure terminal
Next, specify the slot/port number (interface processor slot number/port number) of the interface for
which you want the diagnostic tests to run by entering the interface channel command followed by
the slot/port of the interface.
The example that follows is for a CIP2 interface in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# interface channel 1/0
To run the diagnostic tests once, enter the shutdown command and then the no shutdown
command, as follows:
Router(config)# shutdown
Router(config)# no shutdown
Ctrl-Z
Router#
The no shutdown command causes the diagnostic tests to run on the PCA or ECA interface you
selected. If no failures occur, you can rule out that adapter as the source of your problem.
Markus Hoerler and Tim Masterson need to review this for new ESCON diagnostics.

Also several new Cisco IOS releases will be required to support the new ESCON adapter.
Also, new CIP2 uCode release will be required for new ESCON adapter.
