6.3 Diagnostics
Model 903 system diagnostics are available via the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (RJ-45) or RS-232 serial port
(3.5 mm stereo jack) on the front panel of the FMB-X-2.5 cards.
Ethernet diagnostics are available as Modbus TCP/IP or through an embedded web server. Diagnostic
packets are handled as low priority and must be polled by an external computer. When accessed, diagnostic
packets use up less than 0.1 % of the Ethernet channel capacity.
Serial diagnostics are automatically transmitted from the serial port in a format compatible with older
multiplexer VDM software, e.g. 903-0406-00. A command line interface (CLI) is also available through the
serial port to allow more advanced product configuration and diagnostics.
Typical system diagnostic information includes the following:
 System power supply voltages at both the remote and console modules
 Temperature on the board surface of each FMB-X-2.5
 Condition of the two optical links between the two modules (including transmitted and received optical
power)
 Presence of valid data and composite video signals at both the console and remote ends of the
system.
Additionally, 903 systems based on FMB-X-2.5 and backplane –X boards include the following diagnostic
information:
 Backplane –X serial number
 Backplane type (12 HP or 16 HP)
 High density board (HDB-TX):

capabilities of the Model 903 system.
