Self-Test
Both Crypto Of cer and Administrator functions can access the
self-test functions. Self-tests are mandated by FIPS 140-2 and should be
employed if you are operating in FIPS 140-2 mode. These include both
power-up tests (such as cryptographic algorithm tests, software/ rmware
integrity tests, and critical function tests) and conditional tests. The 3e-
531AP self-test suite includes: AES, 3DES, SHA-1 Algorithms, Random
Number Generation, Dif e-Hellman for Dynamic Key Exchange, RSA,
and HMAC SHA1 Algorithm for  rmware veri cation.
If you want to perform a self-test, click on the
start test
button. A
warning message will appear, stating “If self test fails, the system will
halt. Proceed?” Click
OK
. If there are no errors, the browser will display
the message: “Self test completed successfully. Hit
Back
.”
If there are errors, the 3e-531AP will cease functioning. The device will
emit a low-freqency beep for about 1 second. To exit the Error State, you
must power down and power up by disconnecting the power cable (or
POE cable).
The 3e-531AP will then perform normal power up tests. If the Error
State fails to clear, you must replace the device and return it to the manu-
facturer for servicing.
