Chapter 5 Built-In Status Tests
The Built-In Status Test monitors system performance and status to ensure the receiver is operating within spe-
cifications. The test detects an exceptional condition and informs the user through one or more indicators. The
receiver status system is used to configure and monitor the indicators:
1. Receiver status word (included in the header of every message)
2. RXSTATUSEVENT log
3. RXSTATUS log
When a fatal event occurs (for example, a receiver hardware failure), a bit is set in the receiver error word, part of
the RXSTATUS log, to indicate the cause of the problem. An RXSTATUSEVENT log is generated on all ports to
show the cause of the error. Receiver tracking is disabled but command and log processing continues to allow
error diagnosis. Even if the source of the error is corrected, the receiver must be reset to resume normal oper-
ation.
5.1 RXSTATUSEVENT Log
The RXSTATUSEVENT log is used to output event messages, as indicated in the RXSTATUS log.
On start up, the SMART2 is set to log RXSTATUSEVENTA ONNEW on all ports. You can remove this mes-
sage using the UNLOG command.
Refer to the RXSTATUSEVENT log in the
mand details. for a more detailed description of this log.
5.2 RXSTATUS Log
The Receiver Status log (RXSTATUS) provides system status and configuration information in a series of hexa-
decimal words.
5.2.1 Status Word
The status word is the third field after the header, as shown in the example in Figure 11: Location of Receiver
Status Word below.
Each bit in the status word indicates the status of a specific receiver condition or function. If the status word is
00000000, the receiver is operating normally. The numbering of the bits is shown in Figure 12: Reading the Bits
in the Receiver Status Word on the next page.
