You can also use the iSTAR Web Page Diagnostic Utility to view reader diagnostic information.
Output Diagnostics
The iSTAR Edge G2 provides three types of output tests:
• Output Change Display (slow mode) – tests a specific output that is activated manually by the technician.
• Output Change Display (fast mode) - activates and tests every output on the system.
• Output Test Mode - activates and tests outputs one by one.
Output Change Display (Slow Mode)
The manual output test is an end-to-end test that displays information about outputs activated manually by a technician. The
outputs you are testing can be attached to iSTAR Edge G2 through readers and R/8 boards. Information displays on the LED
for two seconds.
Activate the output change display test by setting the rotary switch SW1 to position 5.
Output Change Display (Fast Mode)
The output change display test is an end-to-end test that automatically activates all outputs attached to an iSTAR Edge G2.
The outputs you are testing can be attached to the iSTAR Edge G2 through readers and R/8 boards. Output information
displays on the LCD for approximately one second.
NOTE
The LCD does not display all output information as some outputs activate faster than the one-second refresh time of the LCD display.
To activate the output change display test, set rotary switch SW1 to position 6.
Output Test Mode
The output test mode activates all outputs, one by one. Test results are indicated by the LED associated with each output.
To activate the output change display test, set rotary switch SW1 to position 7.
Input Change Display Mode
The input change display mode tests and displays information about inputs that are activated manually. Inputs tested can be
attached to iSTAR Edge G2 through the main board, RMs, and I/8 boards.
Information displays on the LED for either one second (Position 4, On) or two seconds (Position 3, On).
To activate input change display tests, set the SW1 rotary switch to 3 for a two-second LED input change display (slow mode)
or position 4 for a one-second LED input change (fast mode).
