Diagnostic Error Message Formats

If any port fails during a diagnostic test, it is marked BAD in the status display.

To retest a port which has been marked BAD, clear the port and set to OK using the diagClearError (port#) command. This command clears the port status only and does not clear the logs or change the port’s condition. The diagClearError (port#) command should only be used during diagnostic procedures to reset a bad port for retest.

Some messages contain the following abbreviations:

•sb = Should Be

•er = Bits in error

If you run the portStatsShow or the diagShow command prior to running a test, errors may appear as a result of the normal synchronization process. These errors should be addressed if the number of errors found increases

	when running the	portStatsShow command again.
	Running any of the tests discussed in “Front Panel Test Menu” clears the
	accumulated errors before the test is run.
