Commands

The optional npackets entry is the number of packets to transmit. If you specify npackets, then you must also specify a data_size.

The ping command display looks something like this:

monitor:: ping 132.245.33.69

PING 132.245.33.69: 64 data bytes

To exit out of ping either wait for npackets to be transmitted or, at any point, type q. The ping statistics display upon exit.

3.2.14 ports

The ports command tests serial line ports, exercising both the data lines and the control lines for each serial port specified. The syntax for this command is:

ports [–d]

Each serial port to be tested must be looped-back with a loopback plug to test both the data lines and the control lines (the accessory kit provides a loopback plug). Connect this plug to the connector on the CSMIM-T1 that corresponds to the port to be tested.

NOTE

Do not run the ports command for a port to which a device is connected. The test will transmit data to the device and toggle its control lines.

When invoked, the command displays a menu of options.
