Using the Analyzer
To Run SMARTtests and Predefined Macros
Before the SMARTtest starts to run, the analyzer checks to make sure the affected ports are configured in full duplex mode and that there are no alarms present. If either of these conditions is not met, an error message appears and the SMARTtest does not run.
The figure at the bottom of the window starts running to indicate that the SMARTtest has started, and relevant details are shown on the window as the SMARTtest runs. The SMARTtest continues to run until it completes or fails, as specified by the pass criteria. To stop the SMARTtest before completion, click the Stop button.
When the SMARTtest completes, the figure jumps up if the SMARTtest passes, or falls down if it fails. The SMARTtest Results window also appears indicating whether the SMARTtest passed or failed, and if relevant, why it failed.
The analyzer automatically captures data for each SMARTtest. If the SMARTtest fails, you might find this captured information useful for diagnostic purposes.
Note When you start and stop a SMARTtest, you also start and stop Link Monitor and the analyzer’s measurement system.
