Verifying the Installation

This chapter provides procedures to verify that your QX 2000 board is installed and configured correctly. For additional troubleshooting tips, see Appendix D.

The QX 2000 boards have four indicators (LEDs) on the end bracket. The location of the indicators is shown in Figure 16.
When you start a QX 2000 board without starting an application, the LEDs indicate that the board is running and represent the board number in binary format. The board number is assigned during software installation and is used to address a specific board in your application. Figure 16. QX 2000 LEDs

To verify that your board is installed and operational, you can: Use the swish utility installed with CT Access. This utility allows you to send commands to MVIP switches. If swish can reset the CT bus switch, the board and board driver are installed correctly. Run a CT Access demonstration program. If the program runs correctly, the board is operational.
These verification methods are described in the following sections.

To reset the CT bus switch with the swish utility:

Open a command window and enter: swish

The swish utility starts up and displays its prompt.

Open the QX 2000 device driver and assign a handle to one of your QX 2000 boards by entering:

swi.OpenSwitch handle=qxsw x
where x is the device number of the board you wish to test, and handle is the handle to give to the device. For example, to assign handle qx0 to board 0, enter:
swi.OpenSwitch qx0=qxsw 0
swish opens the driver and assigns handle qx0 to the device.

Enter the following command to reset the board:

swi.ResetSwitch qx0
If the board is not installed correctly, you will receive a driver error.

Repeat this test for each QX 2000 board you have installed in your system.

When you have finished testing, exit swish by entering: exit
For more information on swish, see the Switching Service Developer's Reference Manual.
