Note: When you have completed testing the external cryptographic hardware, you must perform the Reset Processor and Exit function to restart the encryption subsystem.

vSecurity Interface Unit Cable Wrap Test:

This test verifies the correct operation of the security interface unit cable.

If this test completes successfully, the security interface unit cable that is attached to the cryptographic I/O processor card and the cryptographic I/O processor is operating correctly.

If this test fails, verify that the wrap connector is the correct part number (as indicated by the display prompt) and that it is installed correctly.

To further isolate the cause of the problem, run the cryptographic processor card wrap test. If the security interface unit cable wrap test fails and the cryptographic processor card wrap test passes, replace the security interface unit cable.

vPersonal Security® Card Test:

This test verifies the correct operation of the card reader and the personal security card with which you test the reader.

If this test completes successfully, the card reader and the personal security card are operating correctly.

If this test fails, repeat the test by using a different personal security card. If the repeat of this test completes successfully, you must replace the original card that was used. There are two types of personal security cards available. Verify the correct part number by using online help for this test option. If this test fails again, replace the security interface unit.

vSecurity Interface Unit Keypad Test:

This test verifies the correct operation of the unit keypad.

The test prompts the user to press specific keys. It displays the keys that were requested and the keys that were pressed for comparison. If the keys that were pressed match the keys that were requested, the keypad is operational.

If the keys that were pressed do not match the keys that were requested, replace the security interface unit.

vSecurity Interface Unit LED 1, LED 2 and Beep Test:

This test verifies the correct operation of LED 1, LED 2, and the beeper.

If this test completes successfully, LED 1 and LED 2 light and the beeper sounds. If this test fails, replace the security interface unit.

vReset Processor and Exit:

This function allows the encryption subsystem to be reset.

If this function completes successfully, you must ask the customer contact with the proper authority to start the subsystem again. This resets the encryption subsystem.

If this function fails, replace the cryptographic IOP.

Attention: Disconnecting or removing the type 2620 or type 2628 cryptographic I/O processor for any reason causes the loss of the master encryption key. Read the important information under “2620/2628 cryptographic processor card test” on page 314 before disconnecting or removing the cryptographic I/O processor.

LocalTalk interface test: The LocalTalk interface test verifies that the workstation I/O adapter card and the cable (connector box cable) that attaches to the workstation I/O adapter card are operating correctly. The workstations that support LocalTalk protocol and the connecting cables are not tested. Because the test loads a diagnostic program into the communications I/O adapter card, you
