Miscellaneous Commands

start foxttsloopb prn

start fox prn

Begin a debugging test on one of the I/O ports on the NIC. The tests available are:

 

fox

A continuous stream of text sent to the attached printer. This

 

 

is a good test for troubleshooting hardware as long as the

 

 

attached printer supports text output.

 

tts

A continuous stream of Gandalf 400C TTS-compatible text

 

 

sent to the attached printer.

 

loopb Loopback test. Any input characters from the device attached

 

 

to the I/O port is echoed back.

 

stop prn

 

 

stop prn

 

 

Stop an output test on an I/O port.

 

disable ioportdestination

 

disable prn

 

Disable an ioport so that queued jobs are not printed, or disable a

 

destination so jobs can not be queued to it.

 

enable ioportdestination

 

enable prn

 

Enable an ioport so that queued jobs are printed, or enable a

 

destination so jobs can be queued to it.

 

close tcp TCPindexnumber

 

close tcp 3

 

Force a TCP/IP connection between a TCP/IP host and the NIC to close.

 

The TCPindexnumber can be retrieved from “debug tcp” output.

 

ping [-s]hostIPaddress [datasize [packetnumber]]

 

ping 192.75.11.30

 

ping another TCP/IP host specified by hostIPaddress on the NIC

 

network. datasize is the datagram packet size which defaults to 64

 

bytes if no size is included in the syntax, and packetnumber is the

 

number of requests to be sent.

 

 

Note

To use a host or IP name instead of the address, you must have set the

 

DNS server on the NIC. Use the command set sysinfo dns... to do

 

this.

 

 

 

 

telnet hostIPaddress [escapecharacter] telnet 192.75.11.35

Start a Telnet session with another TCP/IP host specified by hostIPaddress on the NIC network. If escapecharacter is used, it resets the key sequence used to exit the Telnet session. It will return you to the telnet> prompt where you can execute quit. Use the keycode command to find out exact escape characters if needed. The default character is CTRL-].
