Front-End Generic Connectivity Test

Description

Tests are based on the availability of the mandatory 'Status' FESA property
  • checks IP-level connectivity and availability of the middle-ware name server
  • JAPC and low-level RDA property 'get' functionality
  • JAPC and low-level RDA property 'subscription' (monitoring) functionality

Procedure

Step S? short description Criteria
prepare init device status handler
step1 Y check simple IP connectivity
step2 check availability of RDA nameserver
step3 check low-level CMW3 'get'
step4 check low-level JAPC3 'get'
step5 check JAPC subscription
step6 check JAPC subscription
step7 Y check for interlock condition
step8 Y test for OpReady being 'true'
(N.B. S?: skippable task: yes can be skipped by operator (or converted to warning in sequencer's 'lenient mode')
