sutest Options 

Description 

Test Type 

Selects how the test will run. Test options include: 

o a= runs the test on port a

o b= runs the test on port b

o a_b= runs the test on ports a and b sequentially

o a_b_concurrent= runs the test on port a and port b concurrently.

Loopback Type 

Selects the loopback test. Options include: 

oInternal_a_to_a__b_to_b_ is an internal path for a, b, a_b, and a_b_concurrent test types.

oPlug_a_to_a__b_to_b is an external loopback plug for a, b, a_b, and a_b_concurrent test types.

onull_modem_a_to_b is an external loopback cable for a_to_b and a_to_b_concurrent test types.

Data Type 

Selects the data pattern to transfer. The user can select: 

oRandom

oSequential

oAlphanumeric

o0x00-0xff

Async Baud Rate 

Selects the baud rate for Asynchronous mode testing. The valid rates are: 50, 110, 300, 600, 1200, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, and ALL. The default rate is 9600 baud. Some platforms can only support up to 38400 or 76800. The test will return an error if you try to use a higher baud rate then is supported. For baud rates greater then 153600 the serial line drivers must be set for RS-423 mode and not RS-232 mode. The RS-423 and RS-232 modes are usually selected by a hardware jumper on the motherboard. Consult your hardware installation manual for more information. 

User Defined Baud Rate 

Allows the user to set new baud rate values for the test. First select the User Defined option from the Async Baud Rate menu. Then enter the new value in the User Defined Baud Rate field. 

Async Data Size 

Selects the total number of bytes to transfer in Asynchronous mode. This can range from 1 to 10000. 

Async Flow Control 

Selects the type of flow control to use in asynchronous mode testing. The user can select Hardware (RTS/CTS), Software (XON/XOFF) or None. The default depends on the loopback type. Software flow control is not allowed on a, b, a_b, or a_b_concurrent loopback types.
