TIWAY I Gateway User Manual
You
should run the user
-initiated test only when the Gateway is in Off-line
mode (that is, when the On-line/Off-line switch is in the OFFLINE position).
Normal Gateway operation is suspended during this test mode.
NOTE: Before initiating the diagnostic routine, make sure that the network
and host computer cables are disconnected from the Gateway
, and that the
Gateway is in off-line mode. Only the GA
TEWA
Y GOOD indicator should be
lit. If ONLINE is lit, you must first reset the Gateway before running the
test.

the SELF-TEST button to start the user
-initiated test.
The diagnostics will perform internal and external loopback, jabberstop*,
and data rate subtests to each channel. If a media card is missing or is bad,
the test will fail. The subtests for the user
-initiated diagnostic test include
the following.
•
RAM data and address line verification (internal and external RAM)
•
ROM integrity using CRC and checksum
• Serial
Communications Chip (SCC) using internal loopback and baud rate
• Transmitter/Receiver
via external loopback and jabberstop
• V
erification of watchdog timer
•
Indicator operation
*The
jabberstop is a Gateway feature which prevents a device from monopolizing the network.
