4 SETUP AND PROCEDURES BEFORE STARTING THE OPERATION
4.7.3 Hardware test
This test checks the hardware inside the network module.
(1) Connect the IN and OUT terminals of the QJ71LP21/QJ72LP25 network module
(for the optical loop system) with an optical fiber cable.
Do not connect cables or terminal resistors if the QJ71BR11/ QJ72BR15 network
module (for the coaxial bus system) is used.

(2) Set the model setting switch of the network module to "3". Set it to "7" when
using the QJ71LP21/QJ72LP25 at 25Mbps.
The hardware test is selected.
(3) Power on the target station.
The hardware test is executed; check the execution status on the network
module display.
During the test, the T.PASS LED flashes and the test is determined to have
completed normally when it flashes 20 times.
If the test is abnormally completed, the ERR. LED flashes.

When an error occurs, the contents of the error should be checked with GX
Developer. The faulty area can be examined by replacing the cable or module.
REMARK
In the MELSECNET/H, a link refresh is executed even when the module is offline.
Thus, the user can check the testing status and the result with GX Developer or a
sequence program using the special link registers.
