Monitoring

This utility gives user a quick view about all the Async Concentrators' and ports' status. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started. Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g. the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring is started). User can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <-> (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER> on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.

Besides, as entering [Port Status] dialog for highlighted port, parameters like baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, CTS, DSR, DCD, input queue, and output queue, are reported.

Diagnostics

The utility will diagnose the C360 in the system and report the hardware status of each port of C360. However, user must make sure that

All MOXA TTY and non-TTY ports on the specified Async Concentrator(s) must not be used by any applications (processes), including getty or tty monitor, which should be stopped before the utility is executed.

Driver Reset

The utility eliminates the need to shut down the UNIX system to re-initialize the C360 with new configuration. However, user must make sure that

All MOXA TTY and non-TTY ports must not be used by any applications (processes), including getty or tty monitor, which should be stopped before the utility is executed.
