Diagnostics - Comdial DX-80 Technical Manual

3.6.2 DIAGNOSTICS

The Diagnostics function can be invoked to force a diagnostic test operation. The system performs this
test automatically at the time it boots up (initial installation) and whenever programmed to do so. By
default, the factory settings for the system Self-Test Time is set to "NULL" (never performed). (For
programming details, refer to the DX-80 Technical Manual, Volume II, Programming.)
The Diagnostic Self-Test can be invoked automatically via programming settings or manually.
When the Diagnostic Self-Test is invoked, the DX-80 performs a list of software and hardware checks
to assure proper operation of the hardware installed.
Diagnostic Test activity has the lowest priority in CPU processing tasks, therefore, the time required to
complete this testing operation could vary from one test to the next. When an automatic test or manual
test of the entire system is invoked, the testing time can take approximately 30 minutes.
Manual diagnostics testing can be invoked for the entire system or for one module or module port. To
do a manual test, perform the following steps.
1. From the Diagnostics menu, select Self Test. The system displays the Self Test menu.
You can select Wait For the Result or Do Not Wait.
When invoking the test for the entire system, Comdial recommends that you not wait for the
results since this will take several minutes and will force PC-DBA to wait for the diagnostic
report; while waiting, it is not possible to perform any other PC-DBA functions.
2. If you select Test Report on the Diagnostics menu, the DX-80 displays the last diagnostics test
report invoked.
