3.20 Diagnostics

Three functions, including Diagnostics, Loopback Test and Ping Test are contained in this function folder for

device self-diagnostics. Each of them will be described in detail orderly in the following sections.

3.20.1 Diagnostics

Diagnostics function provides a set of basic system diagnosis. It let users know that whether the system is

health or needs to be fixed. The basic system check includes EEPROM test, UART test, DRAM test and Flash

Test

In the Loopback Test function, there are two different loopback tests. One is Internal Loopback Test and the

other is External Loopback Test. The former test function will not send the test signal outside the switch box.

The test signal only wraps around in the switch box. As to the latter test function, it will send the test signal to

its link partner. If you do not have them connected to active network devices, i.e. the ports are link down, the

switch will report the port numbers failed. If they all are ok, it just shows OK.

Note: Whatever you choose Internal Loopback Test or External Loopback Test, these two functions will

interfere with the normal system working, and all packets in sending and receiving also will stop temporarily.
