Setting Port and Clock Modes

When this mode is selected, the text message portion of the LineTest main dialog displays the following synchronization results:

Message

Meaning

 

 

No error

The receiving bit sequences completed, and

 

the port found no errors when comparing

 

sent and received bit sequences.

 

 

X bits in error/sec

The port is comparing received bit

 

sequences with sent bit sequences.

 

Each erroneous bit found is added, and the

 

sum is displayed each second.

 

 

Not synchronized

The port is unable to recognize what it sent.

 

 

Operational Mode

After a test has completed, you must return the port used for testing to Operational mode so that it can handle incoming and outgoing communications.

To return the port to Operational mode, select Operational mode on the Port Test Configuration dialog (shown in Figure E-2 on page 103).

Before closing the LineTest utility, you are requested to restore each port in testing mode to the operational mode.

Clock Modes

In some test configurations (such as back-to-backconfigurations), a port must use the remote adapter clock to successfully synchronize on the received signal.
