Test Module Manager (TMMGR) .

TMMGR (pronounced TM Manager) is a special ODE module that implements an ease-of-use user interface for ODE. TMMGR is a hybrid menu/command interface that enables the user to test specific hardware modules without having to know which diagnostic to load and launch — instead, the user simply selects from a menu the specific hardware module to test, and the appropriate diagnostic is executed. TMMGR provides the user with a consistent set of commands, as well as context-sensitive help. Note, TMMGR can only be run from the Support CD-ROM.

NOTE As of the June 1999 release (IPR 9906), the ODE module TMMGR (TM Manager) will only be updated to support new 32-bit systems (such as the J5000, J7000, C3000, and B1000). TMMGR will NOT be updated to support new 64-bit systems (such as the L-Class and N-Class).

Running TMMGR

To launch TMMGR, enter the following:

ODE>MENU

After TMMGR loads and configures the system (this may take several minutes), it allows the user to interact with ODE through several different screens. Following is a brief summary of each screen:

System Screen The system screen is the first screen displayed to the user. It provides a map of all hardware modules in the system and allows the user to select and test sets of modules.

Test Screen A test screen displays a list of tests for a particular module. It allows the

user to select and run a set of tests for a specific module.

Logging Screen The logging screen displays of log of all test activity. The user can use this screen to get detailed error or isolation information from a particular TM.

Environment Screen The environment screen displays a list of environment variables accessible to the user. From this screen the user can adjust certain aspects of TMMGR.

For all screens, the set of available user commands is displayed across the top of the display. These are the only commands that can be entered at the command prompt. To get a summary of each available command, use the HELP command with no parameter. To display detailed information about a specific command, use the HELP command with the command's name as the parameter. Note, some screens may contain more than one page of information. To display the previous or subsequent page, use the PREV or NEXT commands or their respective shortcuts, Ctrl-P or Ctrl-N. To quickly go to the first or last page of a
