Using Peer Tracer
Using Peer Tracer The Peer Tracer program (peer.exe) is specifically designed to view the internal
operations of NS-Link for the purpose of troubleshooting communications on
Windows NT systems. Peer enables you to see:
• Receive and transmit data
• Internal driver event traces
• Advanced configuration and status information
Like Test Terminal, Peer acts as a simple terminal session, and is used to send and
receive text information to and from NS-Link. To use Peer, you type in commands,
and status and information are sent back.
Unlike Test Terminal, Peer enables you to keep a continuous log of the commands
sent and the results received in a file named peer.log.
Comtrol Technical Support may ask you to run Peer in order to help diagnose
reported problems.
Starting Peer Peer Tracer does not
appear in the Comtrol
program group. To use it,
you must open Windows
Explorer, access the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ro
cket directory, and double-
click on peer.exe. The Peer
Tracer window displays (at
right).
