### Testing the Terminal Connection

Use this troubleshooting procedure when you need to test the connection at each terminal.

Procedure

1. Connect terminals to the ports (using a null modem cable, if necessary).

2. Enter the following at the UNIX command prompt for each port:

> > `date >/dev/tty01`

> > where `date` is merely a command used for a this simple test to provide text output (there is no other significance) and `tty01` is the port to which the terminal is connected.

3. Choose Back to return to and continue with the Master Troubleshooting Process.
