BRD-OFFLN-DIAG

• No, the 300-series boards do not support offline diagnostics. It was found that the diagnostics in the 200-series cards were of little or no benefit so it was not felt necessary to move that feature forward into the new line of cards.

• Startup diagnostics are by default enabled on all 200-series boards.

• The CC, TCAP, and CLIENT MML commands are all related to the Client/Server feature of Signalware that Siemens does not use; unfortunately all Signalware man pages come in one package (the OMNI-MAN package) so you receive man pages that you do not use. As such they should be ignored.

• This may be a question for you, Petra: when the HLRi/MAP applications are put in the cestart file, do you use CREATE-PROCESS(8s)? If so, what application name (APPL parameter) is used? If none, then that’s why DISPLAY-APPLICATION(8s) does not show the application. If you put the processes in manually, there is a field in the cestart file that describes the “application” that each process is associated with.

• The board diagnostics on the 200-series cards can be used to test those cards; with the 300-series cards the fact that the card comes up (e.g., it passes POST) is the best test short of aligning links and passing traffic.
