Note: When you have completed testing the external cryptographic hardware, you
must perform the Reset Processor and Exit function to restart the encryption
subsystem.
v Security Interface Unit Cable Wrap Test:
This test verifies the correct operation of the security interface unit cable.
If this test completes successfully, the security interface unit cable that is
attached to the cryptographic I/O processor card and the cryptographic I/O
processor is operating correctly.
If this test fails, verify that the wrap connector is the correct part number (as
indicated by the display prompt) and that it is installed correctly.
To further isolate the cause of the problem, run the cryptographic processor card
wrap test. If the security interface unit cable wrap test fails and the
cryptographic processor card wrap test passes, replace the security interface unit
cable.
v Personal Security
®
Card Test:
This test verifies the correct operation of the card reader and the personal
security card with which you test the reader.
If this test completes successfully, the card reader and the personal security card
are operating correctly.
If this test fails, repeat the test by using a different personal security card. If the
repeat of this test completes successfully, you must replace the original card that
was used. There are two types of personal security cards available. Verify the
correct part number by using online help for this test option. If this test fails
again, replace the security interface unit.
v Security Interface Unit Keypad Test:
This test verifies the correct operation of the unit keypad.
The test prompts the user to press specific keys. It displays the keys that were
requested and the keys that were pressed for comparison. If the keys that were
pressed match the keys that were requested, the keypad is operational.
If the keys that were pressed do not match the keys that were requested, replace
the security interface unit.
v Security Interface Unit LED 1, LED 2 and Beep Test:
This test verifies the correct operation of LED 1, LED 2, and the beeper.
If this test completes successfully, LED 1 and LED 2 light and the beeper sounds.
If this test fails, replace the security interface unit.
v Reset Processor and Exit:
This function allows the encryption subsystem to be reset.
If this function completes successfully, you must ask the customer contact with
the proper authority to start the subsystem again. This resets the encryption
subsystem.
If this function fails, replace the cryptographic IOP.
Attention: Disconnecting or removing the type 2620 or type 2628 cryptographic
I/O processor for any reason causes the loss of the master encryption key. Read
the important information under “2620/2628 cryptographic processor card test”
on page 314 before disconnecting or removing the cryptographic I/O processor.
LocalTalk interface test: The LocalTalk interface test verifies that the workstation
I/O adapter card and the cable (connector box cable) that attaches to the
workstation I/O adapter card are operating correctly. The workstations that
support LocalTalk protocol and the connecting cables are not tested. Because the
test loads a diagnostic program into the communications I/O adapter card, you
