Help Messages
If the system technician presses HELP after entering "test tdm" the following
message will be displayed:
Enter ’port-network’, port network number (1-3),
[’long’ or ’short’], [’repeat’ (1-100) or ’clear’], [’schedule’]
Error Messages
If the technician does not enter all digits for the port-network number, the
following message will be displayed:
Entry must be all digits
If the technician enters a Port Network number that is not administered, the
following message will be displayed:
Port Network number not assigned
pn number The individual TDM bus to be tested is entered as "NN" where "NN"
represents the port network number of the port network to have its TDM
bus tested. Both halves ("a" and "b") of the TDM bus will be tested. A
port network number (1 - 3) may be entered with or without a leading
zero (0).
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 TDM-BUS maintenance object) is
cleared or a single test in the sequence fails. If no alarms are
registered against the TDM-BUS 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.
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.
