Setting Things Up
Okay, so I decided it was time to run through the kelly kelly test again today. It’s become part of my usual process, something I just do to make sure things are in order before I really get stuck in.
First thing I did was grab all the necessary gear. Pulled out the main unit, checked I had the right cables, and the small testing tool I use. I like to lay everything out neatly on my workspace first, makes it easier to see what’s what.
Performing the Test Steps
Right then, powered on the main device. I watched the indicator lights cycle through their startup sequence. Waited for that specific steady light – that’s my signal. This first part, making sure it boots up correctly, that’s what I think of as the first kelly check. Sounds simple, but it catches issues sometimes.
Next up was the second kelly check. This one is about connectivity. I initiated a basic connection test to the other system it needs to talk to. Sent a simple data packet across, waited to see if it came back, and checked how quick the response was. Did this a couple of times, back and forth, just to be certain the link was stable and not just a one-off lucky connection.
- Checked power status: Passed.
- Checked connection link: Passed.
- Checked response time: Looked good.
Confirming the Results
Everything seemed alright this time around. The power-on was smooth, the connection test went through without any errors, and the response times were well within what I expect. So, the kelly kelly test was a success today.
Honestly, the whole thing probably took less than ten minutes from start to finish. But it’s these little checks, these routines, that often prevent bigger headaches later on. Just feels better knowing the basics are covered before you commit to the main job. It’s just how I operate now, feels more solid.
