CHAPTER 6: Troubleshooting
loopback is active at the remote SHM-B Sync, the
characters pass through the 4-wire cable as well. (Do
not
turn loopback mode on at
both
SHM-B Sync units at the
same time.) If some component of the data loop is
broken, improperly installed, etc., characters will come
back garbled or not at all. So type in characters at either
end, with loopback mode active at either unit, and use a
process of elimination (when does transmission succeed
and when does it fail?) to find the point of failure.
