Internal Test 

Performs internal loopback testing on the Serial Asynchronous Interface card(s) installed in PCI slots. You do not need to attach anything to the card(s) to perform this test. 

25-pin Loopback 

Provides full-duplex transmission and full-modem loopback testing of the serial port selected in the Serial Port section of the option menu. You must attach the 25-pin loopback plug to the serial port on the Serial Asynchronous Interface Patch Panel that is being tested. This test cannot be run concurrently with the Echo-TTY option enabled. 

Echo-TTY 

Checks the proper operation of the serial port selected in the Serial Port selection of the option menu by echoing characters typed on a TTY terminal keyboard to the TTY terminal screen. The characters you type on your TTY keyboard display on the TTY screen. 

NOTE: A TTY connection to the Serial Asynchronous Interface serial port requires corresponding character size se up. For example, if a TTY attachment is running with 8-bit character size, then the Char Size saiptest option should be set to 8- bits. If you do not type any characters within two minutes, this test times-out.

Baud Rate 

Specifies the baud rate; choose 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400 baud. 

NOTE: The baud rate of 38400 can only be used if the Internal Test is disabled and you are testing one port at a time. 

Char Size 

Specifies the character length; choose 5, 6, 7, or 8 characters. 

Stop Bit 

Specifies the number of stop bits; choose 1 or 2 bits. 

Parity 

Specifies the selectable parity; choose none, odd, or even. 

Flow Control 

Specifies the selectable flow control; choose XOnOff, 

rtscts, or both. 

Data Type 

Specifies the selectable data type pattern; choose 0x55555555 

(0x55), 0xaaaaaaaa (0xaa), or random. 

Serial Port 

Specifies the serial port to be tested. The available ports 

are listed in the Configurations section at the top of the saiptest options menu.
