706 Local Work Station Network Analysis Procedure
The system console must
be
working before this procedure can be used. Also, you need to know the
addresses
of
the work stations
that
are attached to the system. The customer should give you this
information.
This procedure uses the network analysis option of the
DCP
Main menu to isolate local work station
problems. The network analysis option displays a matrix on the system console. The matrix shows:
• The cable and station addresses
of
all possible work stations across the top
of
the matrix.
• The conditions sensed for each address down the side
of
the matrix.
An X
is
placed
at
the position
of
the work station address and the condition
that
was sensed. The correct
responses are as follows:
• Work station display: An X
in
the single-frame condition row.
• Work station printer: An X in the single-frame condition row for the first sense and an X in the
multiframe condition row for following senses.
•
No
work station
at
the address: An X in the no-response row.
The following
FRUs
are partially tested:
-
AIF2
work station adapter/control panel interface
-
AIE2
work station pass-through or work station controller
•
Work
station controller card (AIE2): The controller card is used only on systems with the work station
expansion feature.
(28
local work stations)
• Work station pass-through card (AIE2): The pass-through card
is
used only on base systems.
(16
local
work stations)
• Internal cable to workstation ports.
•
Al
board
• Twinaxial cables
• Work stations
To
run
network analysis:
1.
Ensure
that
the Security switch
is
in the Service position.
2.
Insert diskette
61.
3.
Select function 3 (IPL Diskette).
4.
Enter 0000.
5.
Press the Start Function key.
6.
When the
DCP
Main menu appears on the system console, select the network analysis option.
The system displays a status matrix on the console after approximately
30
seconds.
7.
Use the following table and the matrix
that
is
displayed to isolate the failure.
8.
To end network analysis, load the system again ("320 Loading the SSP" on page 3-7). Verify that the
system
is
operating correctly.
