When you run Stand-Alone Diagnostics, you will have to select the 
console display. The diagnostic program displays instructions on graphics 
displays and on terminals attached to the S1 serial port.

  • Identifying the Terminal Type to Diagnostics

When you run diagnostics, the diagnostic program must know what type of 
terminal you are using. If the terminal type is not known when the Function 
Selection menu is displayed, the diagnostics will not allow you to continue 
until a terminal is selected from the Define Terminal option menu.

  • Undefined Terminal Type

If an undefined terminal type from the

 

Define Terminal option menu is 

entered, the menu will prompt you to enter a valid terminal type, and the 
menu will be re-displayed until a valid type is entered or you exit from the 
option.

If you enter a valid terminal (according to the Define Terminal option), but 
it is not the correct type for the ASCII terminal being used, difficulty may 
be encountered in reading the screen, using the functions keys, or the 
Enter key. These difficulties can be bypassed by pressing Ctl-c to reset 
the terminal. The screen display that results from this resetting action 
varies with the mode in which the system is being run:

  • On-line Concurrent or Single-User Mode - the command prompt 

appears

  • Stand-Alone Mode or On-line Service Mode - the terminal type will be 

reset to dumb, the diagnostics operation instruction panel will be 
displayed, and you will be required to go through the Define Terminal 
process again

  • Running Diagnostics from a TTY Terminal

The following should be considered when running diagnostics using a tty 
terminal as the console display:

  • Support for some tty terminals is optionally installed. If you attach a tty 

terminal to a system to run diagnostics, be aware that it may not work 
properly since AIX support for the terminal may not be installed.

  • See the operator manual provided with your terminal to find the key 

sequences required to respond to the diagnostics.

  • When the diagnostics present display information through the S1 port, 

certain attributes are used. These attributes are set as if the
