Help Messages
If the system technician presses HELP after entering "test link" the following
message will be displayed:
Enter link number(1-8), [’long’ or ’short’],
[’repeat’ (1-100) or ’clear’], [’schedule’]
Error Messages
If the link number is not within the valid range, then the following error message is
displayed:
Link out of range, please press HELP
link-id A link number between 1-8 that identifies the link to be tested. The link
number is assigned via the communication-interface links form.
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.
