D20MX HARDWARE USER'S MANUAL
1. Open the VT100 compatible terminal emulation software you are going to use.
2. Verify (or set) terminal communications settings as follows:
Setting
Data Rate
Data Bits
Stop Bits
Parity
Flow Control
Connector Settings
Result: The terminal emulator settings are now configured.
1. Check that all field wiring, grounding wires and fuses are in place and secure on your
D20 system.
2. Turn the chassis-mounted Power Supply switch to ON.
Result: The unit is powered-up.
3. On start-up, inspect the D20MX LED indicators on the front panel.
Result: The RDY LED is flashing.
The D20MX automatically boots up when the power is switched on. Internal processes
perform a series of routines. Self-diagnostic tests are performed followed by the spawning
of all the software applications that reside in the unit's memory.
The self-diagnostic tests generate PASS or FAIL messages that can be viewed in your
terminal emulator WESMAINT II+ screen. You can also see the results of the application
spawning process.
Pass/Fail tests are carried out on the:
• User RAM
• NVRAM
• FLASH memory
• Root process
The self-diagnostics also return measures for:
• SDRAM size
• Bus Speeds
• CPU Core Speed
The NVRAM CRC test verifies that the configuration header is valid. If this fails, then the
D20MX starts with a minimal set of applications that allow the system to be restored.
