Running Network Diagnostics
(available only if the communication path includes IP)
The network diagnostic process tests the integrity of the links between the communicator and the various
connection points of AlarmNet Control that are known as "Redirects" (Redirs or RDR).
To initiate the network diagnostics, press the [F] key on the 7720P Programming Tool.
NOTE:
The test is performed ONLY if a physical link is detected. If no physical link is detect-
ed, the test is aborted and the following is displayed:
NO PHYSICAL LINK
If a physical link is detected, the diagnostics are performed. The following shows the progression of the test:
Testing Redir 1
The first step of the test traces the connection to Redir 1 at AlarmNet
Control.
Testing Redir 2

A successful trace to Redir 1 is indicated here. See below for possible
errors that may occur at this stage of testing.

A summary of the tests is displayed after Redir 3 is tested. The exam-
ple shows that the tests of all three connection points, or Redirs, were
successful. If an error occurred at any point, the summary will display
"FAIL" under the faulty Redir.
