5.3 VIEWING POWER UP DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
The MicroMMAC-T runs from BootPROM comprehensive booting and
diagnostic tests of the device whenever it has been started or reset. You can
view a chronicle of the tests and any error condition messages they
produce by connecting your terminal to the COM 2 port of the
MicroMMAC-T. BootPROM loads the test image into Flash at the
completion of the test, which lasts approximately two minutes.
NOTE: The LCD displays the following message whenever the POWER
UP DIAGNOSTIC test is running: “Cabletron Test in Progress.” See
Section 5.2 for information about LCDs.
The testing process generates information and displays it on your terminal.
The only time you can issue commands controlling the display of the
information is when an error condition has been discovered.
Figure 5-2 shows the opening test information sequence of the POWER
UP DIAGNOSTIC screen depicting an error condition message with
response options that are discussed below.
