Test Communications – Performs network diagnostics and sends test alarms to AlarmNet. The following
tests are available depending on the type of communications module installed.
Test Ethernet
This test is available if IP communication path is enabled. The network diagnostic process tests the integrity of the links
between the LYNX Touch and the various connection points of AlarmNet Control that are known as “Redirectors”. If a physical
link is detected and is ready, the following diagnostics are performed.
Testing Gateway…Traces the connection to the Gateway and displays the following:
Testing Gateway – Successful! A successful trace to Gateway. OR
Testing Gateway – Failed! Failed to reach Gateway.
Testing Redirector * Sequentially traces the connection to Redirector 1, 2 and 3 at AlarmNet Control and displays:
Redirector * – Service OK Service at AlarmNet Control on Redirector 1, 2 or 3 is functioning. OR
Redirector * – Failed Error occurred on Redirector 1, 2 or 3.
* = Number of the director being tested is displayed
A summary of the tests is displayed after Redirector 3 is tested. The example shows that the tests of all three
connection points, or Redirectors, were successful. If an error occurred at any point, the summary will display “Failed”
next to the faulty Redirector.
Redirector 1 – Service OK
Redirector 2 – Service OK
Redirector 3 – Service OK
If no physical link is detected, the test is aborted and one of the following is displayed:
No Physical Link No physical link is detected.
Link Not Ready There is a link but it is not ready (address not resolved).
Send Any

If that is not successful, it sends the alarm over the Cellular path and the following message is displayed: Test Message Sent
If the device is not registered, the following is displayed: Test Message Failed – Not Registered
Send Cellular Message
If Cellular communication path is enabled, and the LYNX Touch is registered, a Test alarm is sent to AlarmNet over the
Cellular path only . The following message is displayed: Test Message Sent
