Basic Loopback Testing in UNIX
Basic Loopback Testing in UNIX Basic Loopback Testing in UNIX

Performing basic loopback testing in UNIX

  1. Place the loopback plug into the corresponding port on the Digi product. This loopback plug is shipped with the product.

  2. From your UNIX root prompt type:

    cat < /dev/[port_name] &
    date > /dev/[port_name]

    If you see the date display on the screen where you issued the commands, this would indicate that the port is functioning properly.

  3. Stop the initial cat command that is running in the background by typing:

    kill 0

NOTE: The [port_name] will vary depending on the UNIX flavor. Please see your installation guide if you do not know the particular port naming convention for your system.
