After loading the Digi AccelePort adapter driver in Novell Netware it says "X channels initialized successfully", however I cannot access the ports from my application.

Solution:

You can use Novell's Terminal Mode or AIOTERM option to:

• Diagnose modem or cabling problems
• Verify the link between the server, modem, and the operator of the modem
• Verify the modem commands supported by the modem

    TERMINAL MODE:
    To use the Terminal Mode option, load NIASCFG and follow this path:
    Select View Status for NIAS > Remote Access > Display Port Status > (port you want to view) > Terminal Mode

    When you select the Terminal Mode option, a terminal window is displayed, through which you can interact with the device connected
    to the selected port.  If you plug the loopback, which is the little plug that ships with the unit, into the serial port and try typing, the input
    data is sent to the AIO port as you type.  Any output from the port is displayed in the terminal window.  Therefore, if you type the word
    "Hello", you should see it display on the screen as "Hello".  In this case, the Digi AccelePort is working properly.

     NOTE: If you have the AccelePort RAS, try entering AT Commands to the modem:
     1. AT should result in OK
     2. ATi3 should report the firmware version on the modems.
     3. If you try dialing in, you should see a RING indicator on the Terminal window.  Type ATA and you should hear the modem pick up
     This would tell us the AccelePort RAS is working properly.

    AIOTERM:
   AIOTERM.NLM is a Novell utility available from the Novell BBS or the Internet.  You should download AIOTRM.EXE, a self-extracting,
   compressed file, which includes AIOTERM.NLM.

    Load AIOTERM as you would any NLM.  It will display the driver (or hardware) type, board number, and ports supported.  After the
    initial loading sequence, the Acquired Port Test Menu is displayed.  Follow these steps to connect to the Digi AccelePort serial port:

1. In the product list you will see something like Driver_Type=160.  Enter the Driver Type as follows:
   Driver hardware type ( aborts)? 160
   

2. In the product list you will see something like Board_Number=0000.  Enter the Board Number as follows:
   Board Number ( aborts)? 0000

3. In the product list you will see something like Ports_Supported=008.  Enter the Port Number you would like to connect to for testing purposes:
   Zero-based port number ( aborts)? 01
   

4. It will ask Driver/board/port values correct (y/n)?  If everything was entered correctly enter "y".
   

5. From the Acquired Port Test Menu, select Really Dumb Terminal Mode to display the following prompt:

   Any keyboard activity will be written to the port, but not echoed to the screen. 
   

6. If you plug the loopback, which is the little plug that ships with the unit, into the serial port and try typing.
   Any output from the port is displayed in the terminal window.  Therefore, if you type the word "Hello", you should see it
   display on the screen as "Hello".  In this case, the Digi AccelePort is working properly.

     NOTE: If you have the AccelePort RAS, try entering AT Commands to the modem:
     1. AT should result in OK
     2. ATi3 should report the firmware version on the modems.
     3. If you try dialing in, you should see a RING indicator on the Terminal window.  Type ATA and you should hear the modem pick up
     This would tell us the AccelePort RAS is working properly.
