Testing
2.1.2 Menu-Driven Diagnostic Tests
Menu-driven diagnostic self-tests let you test each device again after the
power-up self-tests are complete. You can test devices individually, a few
at a time, or all together in sequence. Use menu-driven diagnostics to:
•
Perform external loopback testing.
•
Verify the terminal’s operation after making repairs.
CAUTION
Menu-driven diagnostics cancel current host connections, cause a
software reset, and write messages on the screen.

following ports on the rear of the system box:
