SECTION 6
Network Diagnostics
Running Network Diagnostics
(available only if the communication path includes IP)
The network diagnostic process tests the integrity of the links between the communicator and the
various connection points of AlarmNet Control that are known as "Redirects" (Redirs or RDR).
To initiate the network diagnostics, press the [F] key on the 7720P Programming Tool.
NOTE: The test is performed ONLY if a physical link is detected. If no physical link is
detected, the test is aborted and the following is displayed:
NO PHYSICAL LINK
If a physical link is detected, the diagnostics are performed. The following shows the progression
of the test:
Testing Redir 1
The first step of the test traces the connection to Redir 1 at AlarmNet
Control.
Testing Redir 2
Reached Gateway
A successful trace to Redir 1 is indicated here. See below for possible
errors that may occur at this stage of testing.
Redir 1
Service OK
The service at AlarmNet Control on Redir 1 is functioning. See below
for possible errors that may occur at this stage of testing.
Testing Redir 2
The first step of the test traces the connection to Redir 2 at AlarmNet
Control.
Redir 2
Service OK
The service at AlarmNet Control on Redir 2 is functioning. See below
for possible errors that may occur at this stage of testing.
Testing Redir 3
The first step of the test traces the connection to Redir 3 at AlarmNet
Control.
Redir 3
Service OK
The service at AlarmNet Control on Redir 3 is functioning. See below
for possible errors that may occur at this stage of testing.
RDR1 RDR2 RDR3
OK OK OK
A summary of the tests is displayed after Redir 3 is tested. The
example shows that the tests of all three connection points, or Redirs,
were successful. If an error occurred at any point, the summary will
display "FAIL" under the faulty Redir.
