Diagnostic system for a distributed data access networked system
First Claim
1. A diagnostic system for a data access networked system that includes a plurality of data service systems coupled together, comprising:
- (A) a plurality of diagnostic modules, each within one of the data service systems and running a number of diagnostic tests to check modules within that data service system upon receiving a diagnostic request, wherein each of the data service systems is independently administrated such that modules within each data service system cannot be directly accessed by external source and the diagnostic modules transmit diagnostic requests and diagnostic results to one another using an open standard communication protocol, wherein if a first diagnostic module in a first data service system wants to diagnose modules in a second data service system, the first diagnostic module is not allowed to directly access these modules in the second data service system and must transmit a diagnostic request, using the open standard communication protocol, to activate a second diagnostic module in the second data service system which then sends the diagnostic results of these modules back to the first diagnostic module;
(B) a diagnostic terminal coupled only to the first diagnostic module of the diagnostic modules to generate the diagnostic request to the first diagnostic module and display the diagnostic results received from the first diagnostic module via the open standard communication protocol.

Abstract
A diagnostic system for a data access networked system (e.g., an Internet/Intranet access networked system) is described. The data access networked system includes a number of data service systems coupled together. Each of the data service systems is independently administrated. The diagnostic system includes a number of diagnostic modules, each running a number of diagnostic tests within one of the data service systems upon receiving a diagnostic request. The diagnostic modules also transmit the diagnostic request and diagnostic results to one another using an open standard communication protocol. The diagnostic system also includes a diagnostic terminal that is coupled to a first diagnostic module of the diagnostic modules to generate the diagnostic request to the first diagnostic module and to display the diagnostic results received from the first diagnostic module. A diagnostic system for a data service system of a data access networked system is also described.

10. A diagnostic system for a data service system of a data access networked system, comprising:
-
(A) a diagnostic server within the data service system to initiate a plurality of diagnostic tests to detect faulty modules within the data service system upon receiving a diagnostic request, wherein the data service system is independently administrated such that modules of the data service system are not allowed to be directly accessed by external source and the diagnostic server is externally activated only by the diagnostic request sent to the data service system via an open standard communication protocol, wherein the diagnostic server then sends diagnostic results of the data service system back using the same open standard communication protocol; (B) a diagnostic terminal coupled to the data service system to transmit the diagnostic request to the diagnostic server and to receive the diagnostic results from the data service system via the open standard communication protocol. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
