Diagnostic Utilities

From the main Web-If menu page clicking on Diagnostics will pull up this page :-

'general' diagnostic is the default and clicking on Run Diagnostic will result in the display above, The following is a list of other available Diagnostic commands that can replace 'general' :-

• boot2fix = Fix some aspects of the 'General' Diagnostic
• assignhd = configure a USB Drive on the HD-Fox T2 for use with the Custom Firmware
• diskpush = Initiates an instant Remote Scheduling scan / update
• cpdiag = custom portal diagnostics
• flashmap = show flash memory layout
• force-retune = Force a re-tune of TV channels at next switch from standby, Notes:- 1) Diable-dso must not be installed. 2) This will clear your schedule and favorites. 3) Installing disable-dso will cancel the retune request
• disable_tsr = disable Time Shift Recording (while tuned to a channel which is not currently broadcasting)
• enable_tsr = re-enable Time Shift Recording
• removepw = remove password authentication from the web interface
• remove_mod_yes_i_am_sure = removes all Custom Firmware
• prepare_for_upgrade = prevent package failure during an upgrade from 1.02.20 to 1.02.28 (See Note 2)
• reset_webif = reset the web interface settings back to the defaults
• remove_portals = remove all installed Custom TV Portals

Notes

1) The above diagnostics commands can also be run from a Telnet Command line e.g.

diag prepare_for_upgrade

2) Some packages need to store files in flash rather than on the disk so that they are available before the Humax software starts. Some Humax upgrades overwrite those flash locations (1.02.27 & 1.02.28 overwrite the flash area that contains Sky Player). Prepare_for_upgrade stores copies of the custom files in another flash location so that they can be automatically restored later.
