test interface

This command performs hardware diagnostic tests on the specified processor

interface circuit pack. In addition to testing the PI board, the tests examine the

protocol and link interface that is transmitted over the board.

!WARNING:
Since the “clear long” options clear all counters if tests pass, it is possible
for firmware counters to be cleared even when a problem exists. I n some
cases customer service might degrade since calls may be routed over
defective equipment.
1. If no alarms are registe red against the maintenanc e object then the test seq uence is run only once. T he
long
clear
option forces a clear of all alarms if no errors are encountered during testi ng. The
short clear
option only
clears alarms pertinent to test s in the short sequence. SEE WA RNING BELOW.
2. Refer to the Report Scheduler an d System Printer feature specifi cation for more details.
