Part 5: 702t Server Maintenance and Diagnostics

Conducting TSTSERIO tests

Introduction

The TSTSERIO command performs local loopback tests of the serial
communication ports from the server run-time environment.

Note:

Before conducting these tests, shut down the appropriate services. See

“Shutting down services” on page 53.

TSTSERIO command syntax

The syntax for the TSTSERIO command is as follows:

TSTSERIO [/?] /P:comport [/S:subtstname] [/L:loops]

CAUTION

Risk of communications loss

By stopping the services on COM 1 or COM 2, you lose the
support access feature.

CAUTION

Risk of stopping call processing

By stopping the services on COM 2, you stop call processing
on CallPilot.
