Test 3 - Timer Test
This tests the timer to ensure that it counts and interrupts. It tests the real-time clock,
checking the set time for legal values. It also tests the battery-backed RAM in real-
time clock.
Test 4 - Built-in UART and External EBI Internal Loopback Test
This tests the UARTS within PortServer II, and also the external EBI expansion mod-
ules with an internal loop-back test. It tests that the UARTs interrupt and that data
loops back.
Test 5 - Built-In UART and External EBI External Loopback Test
Same as Test 4, but uses an external loopback. From the front panel, press the right
pushbutton (
>
) to select the port to test. The display will cycle from
01
to
16
(or
higher, if you have expansion modules connected) plus
All
. With the number of the
port to test displayed, press the left pushbutton (
<
) to start the test.
Test 6 - Test Ethernet Internal Loopback
This tests the 10BaseT and 10Base2 circuits within PortServer II.
Test 7 - Test Ethernet External Loopback
This verifies correct operation of the Ethernet interfaces to the external network. You
must have a dummy network (for example, a “T” connector with termination resistors)
attached to each Ethernet connector for this test to pass.
Test 8 - Test Flash ROM
(Read Only) This verifies that the Flash ROM can be read.
Test 9 - Watchdog Timer Test
This test checks out the watchdog timer that is used to check system reliability.
