Verifying Installation
Now you are ready to verify the RS-422 Interface board installation using
diagnostics resident on the Profile system. The RS-422 interface board diagnostic
performs a loop-back test using a standard DB9 male-to-male cable. When the
loopback test is run, a simple communication routine is executed between ports P1
to P2, P3 to P4, and so on. With a single cable, you can test one port pair at a time.
To verify installation:
1. Power On the Profile system and logon using the user account called Profile.
The factory default password the Profile user account is profile.
2. Quit all Profile applications and then start Profile Diagnostics by selecting
Start | Programs | PDR Debug Tools | PDR Diagnostics .
When the diagnostics window is first opened, you may see the following
message:
Checking availability of VDR Services. Please wait.
Wait approximately one minute for this message to clear from the screen
before proceeding. If the message does not clear, cancel diagnostics and
make sure that you have quit all other Profile applications, then restart
diagnostics.
3. If the dialog box with the message “About to re-start VDRSVC in test mode”
appears, click OK .
4. In the Diagnostics window, click the RS-422 test button (see Figure 16).
