Device Test (det)

(Disruptive)

Use the det command to direct an internal self-test to a COMSPHERE or DATAPHONE II APL modem or DSU, a COMSPHERE 3600 Series DBM, a COMSPHERE 3800 Series modem, a COMSPHERE 3900 Series modem, or DATAPHONE II DDD modem.

This test causes a test message to be sent from the device's transmitter to its receiver. The received message is compared to the sent message for errors. If one or more errors are detected, the test fails.

For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.
