test eda-external-device-alrm
This command performs a hardware diagnostic test on all or specific port’s
administered external device alarms. The test PASSES if the external device is
not reporting an external device alarm and FAILS if the external device is
reporting an external device alarm. If you are entering a specific port, it must
already be administered as an external device alarm port on a maintenance or an
analog line port carrier board.

Tests all administered external
device alarm ports on analog line
and maintenance boards.
How many times each test in the
sequence is repeated (1-100)
This option causes the test
sequence (short or long) to repeat
until the alarm (if any) is cleared or
a single test in the sequence fails.

Command is validated and then a
scheduling form displays to

command. The command is then
placed in the command queue and
is executed at the specified time.
The information displayed by the

1Since the “maintenance board” alarm connections connect to control carrier boards that are in unnumbered slots,
the standard port format cannot be used to designate these alarm connections. The special ports Pmajor and
Pminor are used designate the major or minor maintenance board alarm connection for cabinet P. The
major/minor designation specifies the pair of wires, not the alarm level associated with the connection (the “major”
port can be administered as a major, minor or warning alarm and the “minor” port can be administered as a major,
minor or warning alarm).
2 If no alarms are registered against the maintenance object then the test sequence is run only once. The long
clear option forces a clear of all alarms if no errors are encountered during testing. The short clear option only
clears alarms pertinent to tests in the short sequence.
