Enable Auto Diagnostics for Unauthorized Set-Tops
Introduction
The Enable Auto Diagnostics option lets you specify whether the set-top launches
the diagnostics screens automatically when an unauthorized set-top is powered on.
This behavior only occurs if the set-top is not authorized (in brick mode). The set-top
will do this only once.. When you enable this feature, if the subscriber powers on a
set-top that is in brick mode, then the set-top displays the diagnostics screens and
clears the auto-diag flag. On subsequent reboots or when the set-top is powered on
again, the set-top will not show the diagnostic screens. Also, if the set-top has not
been staged and you enable auto diagnostics in the staging defaults, then the set-top
should also display the diagnostics screens automatically when powered on, but
again, only once.
Recommended Setting
Enable this option if you are staging set-tops on a rack of set-tops so that you do not
have to press any keys to launch the diagnostics before you send the set-top to a
home. You could also enable this option if a site stages set-tops in the home.
Enabling this option would save the installer some time from having to launch the
diagnostics to check the status of various settings as it boots for the first time.
