2.5.11 ONLINE DIAGNOSTICS
Online Diagnostics are transmitted by each unit in a network before the user’s data is transmitted. All units
must be programmed with the Online Diagnostics parameter found on the Setup Modem/Radio Parameters
screen to receive Diagnostics from a system. The unit that the computer is interfaced with will output
Online Diagnostics as they are received. This unit must have the Output Raw Diagnostic Data Only
parameter programmed (found on the Setup Modem/Radio Parameters Screen). Using Online Diagnostics
does not require suspension of network operation.
Online Diagnostics are subject to alarm and filter conditions defined in the Diagnostic IDs, Alarms and
Filters screen (see Figure 2-15). When Online Diagnostics are received and a diagnostic field falls outside
the alarm limits, a “<“ character will designate a value less than the low alarm and a “>” character will
designate a value greater than the high alarm. If Online Diagnostics are received and a diagnostic field falls
outside the filter limits, the diagnostic information will be considered invalid and will not be displayed.
