Periodic test feedback, consisting of the current loopback test/cycle plus the
completion status of each type of test, is displayed in the Test Status section of the
dialog box. Click Show Test Logs to view and save the log file (Figure 9-14).
Using Beaconing
Beaconing can force an adapter’s LEDs to blink in a particular sequence. The blinking
pattern acts as a beacon, making it easier to locate a specific adapter among racks of
other adapters.
When you enable beaconing for OneConnect adapters, the two LEDs blink rapidly in
unison until you disable beaconing.
Note: Beaconing is disabled if the selected adapter does not support beaconing.
To enable or disable beaconing:
1. From the Emulex Device Management tree-view, select the adapter port whose
LEDs you want to set.
2. Select the Diagnostics tab and click Beacon On or Beacon Off.
Running a TDR Test (10GBASE–T–Series Adapters Only)
To run a TDR test:
1. From the Emulex Device Management tree-view, select the adapter port on which
you want to run a TDR test.
2. Select the Diagnostics tab.
3. In the TDR area, enter an NVP value. This value compares the cable speed of
reflection versus the speed of light.
4. Click Start TDR Test.
