Diagnostic Switching
A manual switch control feature called Diagnostic Switch allows an operator to
perform maintenance testing or commission an antenna. All VMS automatic
switching and carrier recovery mechanisms are disabled when a site is placed in
diagnostic mode.
Caution: Diagnostic switching should only be used during maintenance
periods; all guarantees are disabled for the affected network during
this process..
Diagnostic Setup
To execute a diagnostic switch, right-click on the Remote site in Network
Manager and select Diagnostic Setup from the drop-down menu, as shown in
figure 6-22.
