ELS100-16TX DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

The ELS100-16TX incorporates built-in diagnostic and testing capabilities which are convenient to use and cause minimal or no disruption to the rest of the operational network. These capabilities are effective for isolating problems within the ELS100-16TX unit. Built-in diagnostic capabilities include:

•System-wide power-up diagnostics, which are run every time the system is powered up or reset.

5.1 POWER-UP DIAGNOSTICS

The ELS100-16TX performs an extensive set of diagnostic self-tests whenever any of the following events occur:

•Power-up

•Reset using the front panel Reset button (a hard reset)

•Reset via the NMS (a soft reset)

•Automatic reset in response to a non-recoverable failure

The power-up diagnostics test processors, memory, and other critical hardware components of the ELS100-16TX. All diagnostic software is stored in non-volatile memory.

5.1.1 Power-up LED Sequence

When you power-up the ELS100-16TX, the following occurs:

1.The Power (Pwr) LED is on.

2.The CPU LED starts ﬂashing. Two of the Port Status Mode LEDs are on.

3.After several seconds, the CPU LED will stay on and only one Port Status LED is lit. This indicates the power-up diagnostics sequence is complete.
