schedule
1 If no alarms are registered against the maintenance object then the test sequence is run 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. SEE WARNING BELOW.
2 Refer to the Report Scheduler and System Printer feature specification for more details.

WARNING:
Since the "clear long" options clear all counters if tests pass, it is possible for
firmware counters to be cleared even when a problem exists. In some cases
customer service might degrade since calls may be routed over defective
equipment.

Qualifier Description
Location (cabinet-carrier-position)
of the processor interface (position
1 = first processor interface in the
carrier, 2 = second)
Option for a brief series of
nondestructive diagnostic tests.
Option for a longer, more
comprehensive series of both
destructive and nondestructive
diagnostic tests.
Number of times each test in the
sequence is repeated (1-100)
This option causes the test
sequence (short or long) to repeat
until the alarm (if any) is cleared or
a single test in the sequence fails.
Command is validated and then a
scheduling form displays 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.
Examples:
test interface 01a1 l
test interface 01b2 s r 2
