Test LED. This test causes all of the port LEDs to blink 5 times for the purpose of identifying the adapter.
To run the diagnostic tests using the BACS CLI
You can use the following CLI command to run diagnostics tests on a specified target. This command is available for physical
device ports only:
BACScli -t <target type> -f <target format> -i <target ID> “diag {[-c REG ] [-c MII ] [-c
EEP] [-c MEM] [-c CPU] [-c INT] [-c MACLB ] [-c PHYLB] [-c LED] | [-c ALL]} [-l <cnt> ] [ -
v <LEDIntv> ]”
Examples:
1. The following command displays all the diagnostics tests available for the current selected target.
BACScli -t PHYPORTS -f bdf -i 01:00.00 “diag”
2. The following command runs the MII and LED tests for the selected target:
BACScli -t PHYPORTS -f bdf -i 01:00.00 “diag -c MII -c LED”
3. The following command runs all the tests five times with an LED test interval of 8 ms for the selected target:
BACScli -t PHYPORTS -f bdf -i 01:00.00 "diag -c all -l 5 -v 8”
In Interactive mode, use the list <view> and select <idx> commands to select the desired target device. Use the
following command to run diagnostic tests for the selected target:
diag {[-c REG ] [-c MII ] [-c EEP] [-c MEM] [-c CPU] [-c INT] [-c MACLB ] [-c PHYLB] [-c
LED] | [-c ALL]} [-l <cnt> ] [ -v <LEDIntv> ]
Examples:
1. The following command displays all the diagnostics tests available for the current selected target.
diag
2. The following command runs the MII and LED test for the selected target.
diag -c MII -c LED
3. The following command runs all the tests five times, with an LED test interval of 8 ms for the selected target.
diag -c all -l 5 -v 8
ANALYZING CABLES IN WINDOWS
The Cable Analysis option on the Diagnostics tab lets you monitor the conditions of each wire pair in an Ethernet Category
5 cable connection within an Ethernet network. The analysis measures the cable quality and compares it against the IEEE
802.3ab specification for compliance.
