Running boot loader self tests

The boot loader can, optionally, include a module for performing basic self tests to help diagnose hardware or configuration problems. To enable the Self Test option in the menu, a special license is required from ARRIS. If you are interested in enabling this feature please contact ARRIS technical support..

To run a test, navigate to the test and start the test using the OK button. A progress bar will be displayed to the right while the test is executing. When the test has finished the text PASS or FAIL will be shown and a message with the result of the test will be displayed. The result message contains information obtained during the test execution that can help Customer Support in diagnosing problems with the STB.

Test name	Description
Memory Test	Tests the internal memory (DRAM) of the STB. The number of bytes that where tested will be shown in the result message.
Ethernet Test	Tests the cable network connection. The result message contains the actual IP address of the STB and information about gateway and DNS server used by the STB.
