MANU3610-01
ATS NETWORK TEST
ATS NETWORK TEST is a two-part test. The first allows the network wiring between the terminal and the host
to be checked for open connections or wiring errors. This test requires that the ATS RS232 Communication
Adapter, which is plugged into the host, be unplugged and pins 2 & 3 of the adapter jumped together (a metal paper
clip should do the trick). Secondly, a local test can be performed on the terminal communication circuitry. This
test will work for both RS232 and RS485 installations (RS485 installations require an ATS 232/485 Converter and
power supply). To enter NETWORK TEST, press the ENTER key at the “
ATS NETWORK TEST
” prompt.
The following message appears:
SWITCH TEST SWITCH
TO USE POSITION
Place the switch on the back of the terminal into the Use position. The Series 3610 performs a network test in
which the terminal sends data up to the host, via the network cabling. Since a temporary jumper was installed in the
ATS RS232 Communication Adapter, the data will be looped back to the terminal. The following should appear:
NETWORK TEST PASS
ENTER TO RETEST
To perform the local communication loop back, place the Test/Use switch back to the Test position and press the
ENTER key. The following message should appear:
NETWORK TEST PASS
ENTER TO RETEST
Remove the jumper from the RS232 Communication Adapter and secure it back into the host port. Press the
CLEAR key to advance to the next test.
ATS BATTERY TEST
The ATS BATTERY TEST checks the terminal battery backup option if installed. To enter this test, press the
ENTER key at the “
ATS BATTERY TEST
” prompt. The following message should appear:
BATTERY TEST PASS
ENTER TO RETEST
Note: If the battery backup option is not installed the battery test will fail.
Press the CLEAR key to advance to the ATS DI-DO TEST.
ATS DI-DO TEST
The ATS DI-DO TEST is a two-part test that checks the terminal DATA IN/DATA OUT port connection by
performing a loop back communication test on the port circuitry. To enter the ATS DI-DO TEST:
1.
Press the ENTER key at the “ATS DI-DO TEST” prompt. The following message should appear:
SWITCH TEST SWITCH
TO USE POSITION
2.
The enclosure must be opened to place the test switch into the Use position.
Since no loop back jumper is installed during this phase of testing the following message will appear:
DI-DO TESTING
DI-DO TEST FAILED
ENTER TO RETEST
