MG-IP TDM Over IP Gateway Reference Manual

Internal Testing
The diagnostics directory contains the fts command to run the internal test. This test exercises the MG-
IP by routing traffic through all the device interfaces and checking for correct performance. The
command performs a device reset, both before and after the test.
The following setup must be done for the function to operate successfully:
Connect the LAN/Management (rear) interface to the WAN interface using an Ethernet cross-
cable.
Connect an external loopback connector to all four T1/E1 connectors.
While the command is running, the MG-IP’s SYS OK LED displays the status:
Alternating red/green indicates the test is proceeding without error.
Flashing red indicates the test has detected a failure.
If the test was set to run continuously or for a long interval, the user can cycle the power to stop the
test. When the test completes, the device is reset and the version string is sent to the CONSOLE.

Hardware Status
Various hardware features report status back to the console. As noted in Table 18, the commands are
spread throughout the directory structure for the convenience of the user.
gsb may be run from the \config, \monitor, and \diagnostics directories. gbd may only be executed from
the \admin directory.
