Testing the Hardware
Before testing LogBook/300:
(a) Verify the device has been properly installed
(b) Make sure the communication cable (serial or parallel) is firmly in place to the proper ports.
(c) Verify the device is powered-on.
Testing the LogBook/300 device might cause the system to hang. If test results are not
displayed within 30 seconds, or if the system does not respond properly do the following:
Reboot the system.
Upon power-up, re-enter the LogBook Configuration.
Ensure the configuration settings are correct. Change the settings as applicable.
To begin the test, click the Test button. Test results should be displayed within a few seconds.
Test results indicate if the device is online (properly connected, powered on and ready to transfer the data)
or offline. If the device is online, Performance Test will display Download and Upload speed rates. These
rates represent the maximum speed at which downloading and uploading files can be performed. Actual
transfer time will depend on channel configuration and the size of the transfer.
