15  Test Panel (Maintenance) 

15.1 

Introduction 

The test panel is accessed through USB Maintenance Port can also serve as a 
troubleshooting aid for the Remote Subsystem hardware and/or firmware. The 
availability of the test panel will depend on your version of firmware and application. 

The test panel is designed to be used by qualified service personnel having a 
background in digital telemetry and SCADA systems, and must be familiar with the 
previous 6CPP6, and its intended use as a part of the overall system installation.  

The 6QBI Test Panel Interface is available on the USB port using terminal software 
(Putty, TeraTerm, HyperTerm, etc.) This may require the installation of the 6QBI 
USB driver (QEI Pt. No 80-020000-001), depending on windows version.  
  
The 6QBI appears as a serial Com: port under Windows.  Open PC communications 
program and select the proper 6QBI serial port 

– it will appear under “connected 

device” window.  Configure the port as 8 bit, 1 stop, no parity, no-flow, 6QBI will 
connect at any speed. 
 
Once connected, press <enter> key a few times to get main prompt tp[n]> where 

‘n’ 

is the command index number. The 6QBI TP interface can save eight (8) previously 
entered commands. Once a command is entered it is stored in a rotating buffer of 
eight. 

Use the ‘[‘ key to scroll previous and ‘]’ to scroll next.  The stored command will 

appear at the command line prompt. It can be edited or reuse command, press 
<enter> to execute. 

Commands can be entered in either upper or lower case.  Note that command 
operators are separated by any non-valid character.  

Thus RA 1,3 is the same as RA 1 3 

15.2 

Requirements 

The following equipment is required for using the test panel commands: 

•

  A laptop computer (PC) having a USB port (for local connection) or 

100BaseT ethernet port. 

•

  Terminal emulation software. 

•

  USB type A-B cable (for local connection.) 

•

  A server point map list is also required. The list indicates the function 

of each data point. A server point map is generated by QEI

’s 

“ConfigWiz 2” configuration software.
