Before you begin
Ensure the ONA is in Mode 0. Diagnostics only run in Mode 0.
Procedure
1. Disconnect the ONA from the network switch and any device it may be attached to.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the ONA Device port to its Network port, as a loopback is
required to run diagnostics.
3. Connect the ONA to an external power adapter.
4. Watch the Status LED.
a. Slow blinking Amber indicates the ONA is booting.
b. Slow blinking Blue indicates that the diagnostics started.
5. Determine if the ONA passes or fails.
a. The ONA passes if it continues flashing slow blinking Blue.
b. The ONA fails if the Status LED is either fast blinking Red (for a continuous error in the
test) or slow blinking Magenta (tests are now passing but previous tests failed).
If the ONA fails, return it to Avaya.
The diagnostic tests do not exit automatically. You have to power cycle the ONA by
disconnecting the Ethernet loopback cable and the external power adapter. Then
reconnect the cables you disconnected in step 1 and the external power adapter to
reset the ONA.
If you do not disconnect the Ethernet loopback cable before resetting the ONA, the
diagnostics will restart.
If you disconnect the Ethernet loopback cable while diagnostics are running, it creates a
failure state and the Status LED flashes red, but the diagnostics continue running.
Upgrading a standalone ONA using the
Manual Configuration menu

website,
, and download the ONA software image that you want to
use.
2. Connect a PC to the RJ-45 port on the Device side of the ONA.
