'amcc_dump_bsi --all shm-tst-lab2-atca02/2' (from psdev) will tell you if the slot 2 xpm (XPM:2) ethernet link is up.

Fiber Optic Powers
Can check light levels going into the xpm by looking at EPICS variables like this:

XPM Timing Links Not Locking
If XPM links don't lock, here are some past causes:
- check that transceivers (especially QSFP, which can be difficult) are fully plugged in.
- for opal detectors:
- use devGui to toggle between LCLS1/LCLS2 timing (Matt has added this to the opal config script, but to the part that executes at startup time)
- hit TxPhyReset in the devGui (this should now be done in the opal drp executable)
- for timing system detectors: run "kcuSim -s -d /dev/datadev_1", this should also be done when one runs a drp process on the drp node (to initialize the timing registers). the drp executable in this case doesn't need any transitions.
- hit Tx/Rx reset on xpmpva gui (AMC tabs).
- Valerio and Matt had noticed that the BOS sometimes lets its connections deteriorate. To fix:
- ssh root@osw-daq-calients320
- omm-ctrl --reset

Fiber Optic Powers
NOTE: Reading of fiber-optic powers is off by default: need to set "enable" to True (both on KCU and FEB) and the click the "Read All" registers button at the bottom of the GUI. To see the KCU side one has to tell devGui what the board type is:
