Chapter 6. Managing the Router 157
When the router is configured by a PC, the GUI overwrites the time and date fields. The router time and date
values are copied from the PC time and date values.
Option 7: Set Console Baud Rate
Select option 7 to alter the baud rate that the router uses to communicate over the Console port with a
terminal-emulation program. You can override the default rate of 9600. Remember to set the identical baud
rate in your terminal emulation program.
Option 8: Start Extended Diagnostics
Option 8 in manual boot mode is for running extended diagnostics. Boot diagnostics are only available on
routers with the MC68EN360 processor.
You may want to run extended diagnostics if you suspect a hardware problem. If you select option 8 from the
main boot-procedure menu, you will see the following display:
[1] DRAM test
[2] Parity test
[3] POST Þrmware CRC test
[4] Real-Time Clock chip test
[5] Timers and Interrupts test
[6] Multi-port UART (internal loopback) test
[7] Multi-port HDLC (internal loopback) test
[8] SCC2 External Loopback test
[9] SCC3 External Loopback test
[a] SCC4 External Loopback test
[b] Ethernet Transceiver (internal loopback) test
[-] Deselect all tests
[+] Select all tests
[.] Run selected tests
[#] Enter debugger
[/] Exit extended diagnostics (reboot)
Enter the number of each test that you would like to run, or select all tests. Then enter Ò.Ó to begin diagnostic
testing. (All of the tests automatically run when you power up or reboot the router.) A debugging mode is
available for use primarily when you encounter a serious problem, in consultation with customer support
services.
