Diagnostic Parameters and Commands
Note:
Every attempt has been made to confirm that this appendix correctly describes the
functionality and output of the MAX diagnostic commands. But while diagnostic mode can be
a valuable troubleshooting tool for anyone, its primary focus is on the requirements of Lucent
Technologies development engineers. Therefore, Lucent Technologies does not guarantee the
completeness of the list of commands or of the cataloging of functionality from release to
release.
Under most circumstances, diagnostic commands are not required for correct operation of a
MAX unit, and in some circumstances they might produce undesirable results. Please use the
following information with caution. Contact Lucent Technologies Technical Support with any
questions or concerns.
This appendix provides all available information about the MAX unit’s diagnostic and
commands. The information is organized for quick reference, and does not include tutorials.
All commands are listed alphabetically. To use these commands, you must have sufficient
permissions in the active Security profile.
Using diagnostics-related VT100 commands
A MAX unit’s VT100 interface provides diagnostic commands you can use to troubleshoot the
unit. Several are administrator-only commands. The interface also includes commands related
to BRI/LT, E1, Host/Dual, modem and T1 performance.
Using administrator-only commands
To be allowed access to diagnostic mode, you must set the Field Service privilege to Yes in the
active Security profile.
