To execute the Async Test, select 7 from the DIAGNOSTIC TEST MENU, press Enter and follow the directions displayed on the screen. Move the highlight bar to the subtest you want to execute and press Enter.

Subtests 01 and 02 require the following data format:

Method:	Asynchronous

Data:	8 bits and one parity bit (EVEN)
Data pattern:	20h to 7Eh

Subtest 01 FIR/SIR Point to point (send)

NOTE: To execute subtests 01 and 02, each computer must have access to the other computer’s infrared port.

This subtest sends 20h through 7Eh data to the receive side, then receives the sent data and compares it to the original data through the FIR/SIR port.

Subtest 02 FIR/SIR Point to point (receive)

This subtest is used with subtest 01 described above. This subtest receives the data from the send side, then sends the received data through the FIR/SIR port.
