3-14 Verifying Serial Port Connections
LX Series Configuration Guide
X To validate cable configurations:
Execute the following command to test the connection:
Example InReach:0 >>test port async <port_number> [width
<number>] [lines <number>] [loopback]
There are several ways to execute the command
1. Test the port async port:
Example InReach:0 >>test port async 4
This option generates 23 lines of 80 characters each of a
printable sequence of ASCII characters to be sent to the
destination port. The general rules are:
• The access of the destination port must be Local,
Remote, or Dynamic.
• The destination port must be in an idle state with no
subscriber active (an exception to this rule is when the
source and the destination ports are the same).
• Only one port can be specified.
• If a CTRL-C is issued during the test, the test is stopped
after a delay period and the bytes generated up to that
point are counted.
• An end of test message is displayed in all cases.
2. Test the port async port, but limit the width of characters
returned:
Example InReach:0 >>test port async 4 width 50
This option generates 23 lines of 50 characters each of a
printable sequence of ASCII characters to be sent to the
destination port. You can enter values from 1-132. The
default is 80. An end of test message is displayed.
3. Test the port async port and limit the width of characters
and lines returned:
Example InReach:0 >>test port async 4 width 50 lines 15
