Help Messages
If the system technician presses HELP after entering "test pkt" the following
message will be displayed:
Enter ’port-network’, port network number (1-3),
[’long’ or ’short’], [’repeat’ (1-100)
or ’clear’], [’schedule’]
Error Messages
If the technician does not enter all digits for the port-network number, the
following message will be displayed:
Entry must be all digits
pn number The individual Packet bus to be tested is entered as "NN" where "NN"
represents the port network number of the port network to have its
Packet bus tested. A port network number (1-3) may be entered.
short This will cause the command to execute a series of nondestructive
diagnostic tests.
long This will execute a more comprehensive and longer version of the
diagnostic tests. This may involve both destructive and nondestructive
tests.
repeat number The "number" specifies how many times each test in the sequence is to
be repeated. "Number" may be any integer between 1 and 100.
clear This option causes the test sequence (short or long) to repeat until the
alarm (if one exists against the maintenance object) is cleared or a
single test in the sequence fails. If no alarms are registered against the
maintenance object then the test sequence will be exercised only
once. The long clear option forces a clear of all alarms if no errors are
encountered during testing. The short clear option only clears alarms
pertinent to tests in the short sequence.
!
WARNING:
Since the "clear long" options clear all counters if tests pass, it is
possible for firmware counters to be cleared even when a
problem exists. In some cases customer service might degrade
since calls may be routed over defective equipment.
schedule When the "schedule" option is specified, the command is validated
and then a scheduling form is displayed to allow the technician to
schedule execution of the command. The command is then placed in
the command queue and is executed at the specified time. The
information displayed by the command is sent to the system printer
instead of the screen. Refer to the Report Scheduler and System
Printer feature specification [1] for more details.
