Overview
There are two groups of diagnostics: Low Level Hardware Diagnostics and User Diagnostics. Low Level diagnostics are run in Diagnostics mode. User diagnostics are run in normal Run mode. (The Configured Operational Mode is set in Configuration: System as described below.) You must be in Diagnostics mode to run Hard Drive Check Disk and Device Test POST Tests. You can run all other tests from Run mode.
Note Since running in Diagnostics mode interrupts the passing of video, be sure to return the appliance to the Run mode in order to return the appliance to its normal operational state.
TTo change between normal Run mode and Diagnostics mode:
1.Log in with Administrator or Operator Privilege. The default login Username and Password is admin/admin or operator/operator (case sensitive).
2.Go to the Configuration: System screen.
3.Click Begin Edit.
4.Set Configured Operational Mode as required.
5.Click Apply Changes.
6.The VBrick will then automatically save the changes and reset.
User Diagnostics
There are four user diagnostics: Network Test, Device Test, Decoder Color Bar, and Hard Drive.
Diagnostics: Network Tests
Diagnostics: Network Tests > Ping Test
This menu allows the user to initiate a data test from one VBrick to another. To Ping another VBrick, it's necessary to enter Edit mode. Enter the IP address and Test Settings and select the Start button. The Operational State will read Ping Test. After the test is completed, use the Refresh button to display the results of the test. The results of the test will be displayed
