SECURITY FUNCTIONS
The PPT performs both hardware and software security checks
to insure module integrity.
Hardware Checks
The PPT does the following hardware checks:
1. Error Detection and Correction - Detects single bit and
double bit errors in the dynamic RAM. Corrects single bit
errors; halts PPT operation on double bit errors.
2. Illegal Address Detection - Detecting an illegal address gen-
erates a bus error and the PPT halts operation.
3. Machine Fault Timer - The microprocessor updates this
timer. A machine fault timeout halts module operation.
Software Checks
The PPT does the following software checks:
1. Module Diagnostics - Module diagnostics execute automat-
ically on system power up. PPT faceplate LEDs display error
conditions if the diagnostic tests fail.
2. Module Status Check - This test verifies checksums of the
UVROM and NVM. Discrepancies cause the PPT Status LED to
flash green and PPT operation halts.
Utilities
The utilities menu shown in Figure
is available to the user
by attaching a diagnostic monitor to serial port 1. Items 1, 4
and 5 are used for Bailey Engineering purposes. Items 2 and 3
are available to the user.
