6.7 Perform Self Test
Perform Self Test is a troubleshooting aid that performs a check on the unit’s memory
I/O system. You will not need to use this feature during the normal course of opera-
tion. The self-test takes a few minutes to run and the unit is unable to process any
information during this time.
The Com Port portion of the test will always return “Com Port... skipped (external
loopback not found)
” if you are running the Self Test from a local connection and do
not have an external loopback dongle attached to the COM port. You must attach a
loopback dongle and run the Self Test remotely via telnet to test the com port.
Messages that may result from the Com Port test are described in Table 6.1:
