INTRODUCTION
This
section is divided
into
two
portions.
The
first
discusses
the
various
error
messages
that
may
appear
on
the
ter-
minal's
screen
while
you
are
attempting
to
perform
opera-
tions
through
the
keyboard.
The
second
discusses
the
various
types
of self-tests
that
are
incorporated
into
the
HP
2624A.
ERROR MESSAGES
When
the
terminal
detects
a
parameter
inconsistency
or
error
condition,
it
locks
the
keyboard
and
displays
an
ap-
propriate
error
message
across
the
bottom
of
the
screen
(replacing
the
function
key
labels).
Press
_
to
unlock
the
keyboard,
clear
the
message,
and
reinstate
the
current
function
key
labels.
The
various
possible
error
messages
and
their
general
meaning
are
as
follows:
Default
configsused
Press
RETURN
to
cl
ear
This
message
is
displayed
when
the
terminal
attempts
to
read
the
content
of
non-volatile
memory
but
detects
a
CRC
error
(e.g.,
at
power-on time,
during
a
hard
reset,
or
when
the
"POWER
ON
VALUES" function
key
is
pressed).
To
determine
whether
the
problem is a
bad
battery
or a
bad
RAM chip,
run
the
Terminal
Test described
later
in
this
section.
If
the
RAM chip
used
for non-volatile
memory
is
bad,
the
Terminal
Test
will
fail
and
generate
an
appropriate"
CMOS
RAM"
message identify-
ing
the
faulty
chip.
If
the
test
passes,
then
the
"Defaul
t
conf
ig!l
u!!ed"
power-on message
indicates
that
the
battery
needs
to be changed.
Instructions
on
how to
change
the
battery
are
provided
in
Section X,
"Terminal
Maintenance
Procedures."
After
clearing
the
message
(by
pressing
a),
you
may
then
reconfigure
the
terminal
as
you desire.
