Low-Level Hardware Diagnostics

These are tests that test the hardware integrity of the VBrick appliance board and are not
often used. If they are necessary, the tests can be set for continuous operation or for a certain
number of test loops, and run at low or high intensity. Note that depending on the model, a
low intensity test sequence may take 5-15 seconds per test sequence; a high intensity test
sequence can take 5-15 minutes or more.

User Diagnostics

There are three user diagnostics: Network Test, Device Test, and Decoder Color Bar.
