Diagnostics
The Administration Menu
Diagnostics
option enables you to run a limited
set of diagnostic tests on the currently selected module’s functionality. When
you select this option, the management agent performs diagnostic tests and
displays the results as follows:
The top of the screen shows the user-configured hub name and selected
module name. Below is the module’s product identifier (AT-3612T in this
example). The module’s serial number is displayed as a hexadecimal string
(this is actually the module’s Ethernet address), followed by a version
identifier for the module’s firmware.
The Diagnostics screen is the only place where the MAC address and firmware
version number are displayed.
The results for each test will either indicate
Good
or
Failed
. Diagnostic tests
may be run on any module within a department concentrator. If the currently
selected module has a failure that can no longer communicate across the
backplane bus, the message “Module does not respond” will appear. Note that
these diagnostics are limited since they must be executed ‘live.’
