DS74
FUNCTIONAL
TEST
DS74
RESET
PROCEDURE
1.
Perform a host module Factory Default reset procedure. DS74 configuration is stored on Host
Module
2.
Select the DS74 module in the Configuration Menu; select Serial Port Configuration; select each
option and change to default setting,
9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, RTS and
DTR High
.
NOTE:
If no RPC/RPS with SNMP enabled device is connected to the port, the host module
will wait approximately 40 seconds for the port to respond to its polling upon power up or
host module unit reset and display the following:
No communication with RPC at Module
# Port #
Select 1, allows serial information to pass but prevents SNMP information from passing through.
Select 2, enables the SNMP information to pass through along with serial data.
Select either option. The module displays the DS74 Configuration menu.
NOTE:
Once you make a change to the port type, you have to back out of the Port Type menu
and will be asked to ‘Accept changes’. If you type ‘Y’ for YES, the changes take effect
immediately for the serial port.
Accept changes ? (Y/N) :y
Type “Y” to accept changes and press ‘Enter’. The module will
display changes accepted.
Changes accepted.
An extra rollover cables (pin out 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5, 5-4, 6-3, 7-2, 8-1) is needed for this test.
1.
Set up the Host module with modem or Ethernet cables for normal operations.
2.
Connect the rollover cable between two DS74 ports.
3.
Create a Modem/Ethernet session. (i.e. Hyper-terminal) Type semi-colon 5-times (; ; ; ; ;) Select
one of the connected ports.
4.
Connect PC to the Host module serial port. Type semi-colon 5-times (; ; ; ; ;) and select the
other connected ports.
5.
In one of the active session, type several random characters. They should be seen in the other
open session.
6.
Make the other session active and type several random characters to see them echoed in the
other session.
7.
This verifies the Chassis, Host module, and the I/O port is working.
If a DS74 module appears not to be working, move the module to a different slot and retest.
