test port
This command performs hardware diagnostic tests on an individual port circuit. 
In most cases, tests are performed on hardware connected to the port.
!
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.
1. If no alarms are registered against the maintenance object then the test sequence is run 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. SEE WARNING BELOW.
2. Refer to the Report Scheduler and System Printer feature specification for more details.

Command is validated and then a 
scheduling form displays 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

printer instead of the screen.
