2.3.1 POWER_UP/RESET DIAGNOSTICS
Upon station power-up or reset, varieties of diagnostic tests are performed to verify
both that the hardware is functional and the firmware and code plug devices are
correctly programmed. The hardware diagnostic tests are designed to detect a faulty
device or group of components. The faulty components can be indicated to the user
via a local diagnostic port and the FAIL LEDs on the board.
2.3.2 CONTINUOUS DIANGONSTICS
The Continuous class of diagnostics is always monitoring the status of the station.
One part of the Continuous Diagnostics monitors the software program controlling
the station. If abnormal operation is encountered, an error code will be sent to the
Network Administration Center (NAC). The other part of Continuous Diagnostics
operates by reading the eight reverse wildcard (RW) bits on the station local
diagnostic port. If any of these bits active, the error messages are also sent to NAC.
