Running Network Diagnostics on the IGSMV
The network diagnostic process tests the integrity of the links between the IGSMV and the
various connection points of AlarmNet Control that are known as "Redirects" (Redirs or
RDR).
To initiate the network diagnostics, press the [F] key on the 7720P Programming Tool.
NOTE: The test is performed ONLY if a physical link is detected. If no physical link is
If a physical link is detected, the diagnostics are performed. The following shows the
progression of the test:
Testing Redir 1
Testing Redir 2

detected, the test is aborted and the following is displayed:
NO PHYSICAL LINK
The first step of the test traces the connection to Redir 1 at
AlarmNet Control.
A successful trace to Redir 1 is indicated here. See below for
possible errors that may occur at this stage of testing.
The service at AlarmNet Control on Redir 1 is functioning. See
below for possible errors that may occur at this stage of testing.
The first step of the test traces the connection to Redir 2 at
AlarmNet Control.
The service at AlarmNet Control on Redir 2 is functioning. See
below for possible errors that may occur at this stage of testing.
The first step of the test traces the connection to Redir 3 at
AlarmNet Control.
The service at AlarmNet Control on Redir 3 is functioning. See
below for possible errors that may occur at this stage of testing.
A summary of the tests is displayed after Redir 3 is tested. The
example shows that the tests of all three connection points, or

OK
Redirs, were successful. If an error occurred at any point, the
summary will display "FAIL" under the faulty Redir.
