Troubleshooting Terminal, Printer and Serial Device Connections - Edition 4 (32022-90030)

Chapter 4 51
TermDSM Commands
DI[AG] SE[LFTEST]
The Selftest subcommand causes a complete DTC selftest to be run.
This selftest includes the selftests for each of the interface cards within
the DTC, and a download of the DTC across the LAN. Any jobs or
sessions that are running on devices connected to the DTC are aborted.
NOTE Each loop of the Selftest subcommand is functionally identical to the
RESET DTC subcommand. The inclusion of both commands is for your
convenience, and to provide looping capability in the event an
intermittent hardware failure is suspected.
As each selftest completes, the results of each SIC selftest will be
printed on the terminal. Below is a selftest print out for a DTC 48:
Card SIC/SNP type Card test status Ports (G:good or x:bad)
5 (not installed)
4 (not installed)
3 X25 RS-232 Direct OK GG
2 TIO RS-232 Direct OK GGGG GGGG
1 TIO RS-232 Direct OK GGGG GGGG
0 TIO RS-232 Modem OK GGGG GG
The test passed 1 times and failed 0 times.
After all selftests complete, the DTC software is downloaded to the DTC
so that users can again use devices connected to the DTC. You will
receive messages to inform you of each download if you are running
TermDSM from the console. You will then be returned to the
diagnostics prompt.
