The Packet Test screen is used to simulate a Host/Remote polling environment. The Master unit will send
out a packet to the Remote and the Remote will reply to the Master with the same packet information. This
is a useful utility for testing modem communication.
Host Packets Tx’ed
Host Packets transmitted shows the number of data packets the Master has sent to the Remote.
Remote Packets Rx’ed
Host Packets received shows the number of data packets the Remote device has received from the Master.
Host to Remote %
Host to Remote percentage shows the percentage of packets the Host device has successfully sent to the
Remote.
Remote Packets Tx’ed
Remote Packets transmitted shows the number of data packets that the Remote device has returned to the
Host.
Host Packets Rx’ed
Host Packets received shows the number of data packets the Host device has received from the Remote.
Remote to Host %
Remote to Host percentage shows the number of packets the Remote device successfully sent to the Host.
Overall %
Overall percentage shows the percentage of Host received packets versus Host transmitted packets.
# of Packets to Send
Number of Packets to Send programs the number of packets the Host should send to the Remote before
stopping.
Bytes of Data / Packet
Bytes of Data / Packet is the programmable number of data bytes in each packet the Host sends. The
Remote will respond with the same number of packets.
COMPort/Network Ratio
COMPort/Network Ratio is the ratio of the COM port baud rate to network (over the air) baud rate of a
modem. This is used if the network baud rate is slower than the COM port baud rate. If the COM port baud
rate is 9600 and the network baud rate is 4800, set the ratio to 2. If the two are the same, set this field to 1.
