Self
Self performs an internal self-test of the modem, which takes less than a minute to complete. The
modem must be offline; otherwise, Invalid Command appears.
WARNING
When this test is run in Remote mode, it causes the Remote
mode session to be lost. The Remote mode session will
reestablish after the self-test completes (usually one or two
minutes). If the remote self-test fails, a Device Failure alarm
message appears when the remote modem’s Device Health and
Status (DeviceHS) branch is accessed.
To access Self from the Test branch, make the following selection:
F1
Test:
>
Abort
Self
F2
F3
Select Self. (All LCD cells and DCP status indicators light.)
NOTE
The test delays 15 to 30 seconds to allow any outstanding network
management messages to propagate before the VF channel is
interrupted by the test.
If the modem passes the self-test, Pass appears on the LCD. If it fails, Failed appears. If the
modem fails, contact your service representative. If Invalid Command appears, the modem is
operating on dial lines. If OtherTestActive appears, another test is in progress. If another test is in
progress, select Abort to clear the current test and try again. If the modem is operating on dial
lines, disconnect to clear the dial lines, and then choose Self. If the modem receives a ring signal
during this test, the test is canceled and RI Abort message appears.
To exit this function and remain in the Test branch, press the
key. To exit and return to the
Top-Level menu, press the
key.
