Running Diagnostics

10.There are three tests that you should run. The first test involves outputting two ASCII data patterns to a terminal or printer connected to one of the serial I/O ports on the IPC-900. To run this test, you need a terminal or printer, a 035-0153-0031 cable, and a 002-0040-0031 or 002-0052-0031 connector. Once you have this equipment, perform the following steps:

a.Using the 035-0153-0031 cable and the 002-0040-0031 or 002-0052-0031 connector, connect the terminal or printer to a port on the IPC-900.

b.To output the first ASCII data pattern, TYPE: COPY TEST.PAT SIOx

Where: SIOx can be SIO1 through SIO8, representing Ports 1 through 8.

PRESS: Enter

c.To output the second ASCII data pattern, TYPE: COPY LONGTEST.PAT SIOx

Where: SIOx can be SIO1 through SIO8, representing Ports 1 through 8.

PRESS: Enter

d.The tests will take 3±4 minutes to run. When they are finished, you will be returned to the MS-DOS operating system.

11.The second test is a port to port data transfer validation test. The diagnostic program sends a data pattern out of one port to a second port on the same IPC-900 (the two ports must have the same configuration). The received pattern is then compared with the original pattern to identify errors. To run this test, you need a 002-0040-0031 or

002-0052-0031 connector, a 002-0039-0031 or 002-0053-0031 connector, and two

035-0153-0031 cables. Once you have this equipment, perform the following steps:

a.Connect one end of one of the 035-0153-0031 cables to the transmitting port (SIOx) on the IPC-900, and connect the other end of the cable to the 002-0039-0031 or 002-0053-0031 connector, as shown in Figure 8-4.

b.Connect one end of the second 035-0153-0031 cable to the receiving port (SIOy) on the IPC-900, and connect the other end of the cable to the 002-0040-0031 or 002-0052-0031 connector.

c.Connect the 002-0039-0031 or 002-0053-0031 connector to the 002-0040-0031 or 002-0053-0031 connector to link the two ports.
