Installing the Appropriate Utility
Installing the Appropriate Utility
Test Terminal and Port Monitor are available in several Comtrol tools.
• RocketPort or RocketModem IV users will need to install the Comtrol
Utility Package. See
Comtrol Utility on Page 9 for information about locating
and installing the Comtrol Utility. The Comtrol Utility Package supports the
DeviceMaster families but typically customers prefer installing PortVision
DX, which includes Port Monitor and Test Terminal and is a powerful
DeviceMaster configuration and monitoring application.
Note: RocketPort or RocketModem IV also provides a bootable hardware
diagnostic to test the adapter. The diagnostic is shipped with the
product. Refer to the Software and Documentation CD for the diagnostic
or locate it using the appropriate ftp download page at:
ftp://
ftp.comtrol.com/html/default.htm .
• DeviceMaster users should install PortVision DX. See PortVision DX on Page
13 for information about locating and installing PortVision DX.

plug is a serial port plug with pins wired together that you can use with an
