System Test
This section explains the Network Interconnect (NI) System test.
Setup Notes
The selected NI port must be connected to a network, or have
a loopback installed.
A more thorough test is done if the system is connected to a
live network and MOP is enabled.
Maximum testing of hardware occurs on a live network with
MOP enabled.
The network system test tests the network port using external
loopback packets. The packets vary in size from 1 byte of data to
32 bytes of data. The pattern for the packets comes from a set of
8 patterns: AA, 55, 34, CB, 99, 66, 43, and BC.
The following is an example of a network system test error; xxxx
is the error code.
?? 9 NI 0001 xxxx 8:15:02
