Diagnostic
Mode
NOTE:
This is only to be performed under the explicit direction of Avid Customer Support.
To display test results, you can put the MEDIAswitch into a diagnostic output mode. In this mode,
the diagnostics will output a passed or failed result and you will be prompted for additional
options.
You will need
•
the short RJ45 loopback plug that shipped with the MEDIAswitch,
•
the SLIP management cable, and
•
an asynchronous terminal (19,200 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop, no parity), or a PC in terminal
emulation mode (ie Hyperterm).
To put the Rapport 4000 into optional diagnostic mode:
1. Power off the Rapport 4000.
2. Insert the short RJ45 diagnostic loopback plug into the AUX port on the MEDIAswitch’s front
panel.
3. Insert the SLIP management cable into the MEDIAswitch’s front panel’s MGMT port,
connecting its DB25F end to the DB25M to DB9 adapter then to an asynchronous terminal or
to a PC in terminal emulation mode.
4. If you plan to run the Diagnostic External LoopBack Test, be sure that you have the
necessary copper or optical Fibre Channel loopback plugs and be sure that you insert them
before
powering the MEDIAswitch on.
5. Power the MEDIAswitch on.
You will see an information display similar to the following. (
If you don’t select an option within 30
seconds, the Diagnostic External LoopBack Test will be started automatically
.)
