Diagnostic Tests
iSTAR Ultra firmware provides diagnostic information for:
Readers
Cards
Outputs
Inputs
Ethernet port
Use rotary switch SW3 on the GCM to activate diagnostic tests. Diagnostic information
displays on the iSTAR Ultra LCD.
Hardware Test
The onboard Ethernet tests display diagnostic information about both on-board Ethernet
connections, the USB ports, and the SD drive.
To Test the Ethernet port
1. Set switch SW3 to the position shown in Table 10-3.
2. Observe the LCD display for test results.
3. When the test is complete, set SW3 back to 0 or F to display status messages.
The LCD displays only success messages. If no message displays, the circuit is defective or the
port is not communicating.
Use caution when activating outputs in a live system. For example, if the
output opens the shipping door, the shipping door will open when you
test it.
NOTE
Diagnostic tests add overhead to iSTAR Ultra processing, and may
degrade system performance. When the diagnostic tests are complete,
deactivate the test by resetting SW3 to display status information.
Either 0 to display with full control, or F to display as read only.
