Testing the Adapters
Testing the Adapters
These tests for the adapters help to determine whether or not the adapter is
functioning correctly. Most of the adapters (for example, the EIA 232, X.21,
V.35/36, ESCON, and HSSI) contain basic testing functions; however, other
adapters may have additional tests such as wrap plug and cable tests. The
ESCON adapter also has optical power (page 5-16) and light reception tests (page
5-12).
Complete the following steps to test a faulty (or newly installed) Adapter:
¹
Power on the IBM 2216.
¹
Run diagnostics on the new adapter (page 5-9)
¹
If you have an ESCON adapter, run the light test on the new fiber optic cable
(page 5-12).
Refer to “Overview of Diagnostic Functions and Status Information” on page 5-1 for
additional information on the use of IBM 2216 operational diagnostics.
