Setting Up Remote Console Management
Verifying Serial Port Connections 3-15
This option generates 15 lines of 50 characters each of a
printable sequence of ASCII characters to be sent to the
destination port. You can enter values from 0-65535. The
default is 23. If you enter 0, the test port runs
continuously until you enter CTRL-C. An end of test
message is displayed.
L You must use the “width” parameter in the same
command if you want to use the “lines” parameter.
4. Test the port async port with loopback:
Example InReach:0 >>test port async loopback
This option generates 23 lines of 80 characters each of a
printable sequence of ASCII characters to be sent to the
destination port. The rules of this option are as follows:
• A "loopback" connector requires that the "transmit"
wire be tied to the "receive" wire.
• If a parity, framing, or overrun error occurs, it is
recorded as an error as part of the end of the test
message.
• If the "loopback" connector is not being used or it is
wired incorrectly, the command fails because there is
no data to read in from the destination port.
• The "loopback" option is not valid if the source and
destination port are the same.
• The appropriate messages will be displayed in the
above cases.
• If a "loopback" connector is connected, but you do not
specify the "loopback" keyword, the port records the
characters transmitted out and received in, but no
character received is checked for integrity.
• The "loopback" option is also valid with the "width"
parameter and the "width and lines" parameters.
