RocketPort Serial Port Connectors RocketPort Serial Port Connectors The following subsections illustrate the pinouts for the quad- and octacable connector types and how to build loopback plugs for testing serial ports. DB9 Connectors This illustrates the pinouts for DB9 quad- or octacables.
Building Additional DB25 Loopback Plugs Building Additional DB25 Loopback Plugs Loopback connectors are DB25 female serial port plugs that you can use to test serial ports. The ATS-XPE is shipped with a a single loopback plug (RS-232/422) that corresponds to your quad- or octacable type. Note: You can run loopback tests with Test Terminal. Wire the following pins together to build additional plugs or replace a missing RS232 loopback plug: . .
Building Null-Modem Cables Use the following figure if you need to build a null-modem cable. A null-modem cable is required to connect the CONSOLE port to a PC COM port or to connect DTE devices.
Troubleshooting Serial Ports Troubleshooting Serial Ports The following subsections discuss the following utilities that are installed on the ATS-XPE: Using Test Terminal • Test Terminal program (wcom32.exe), which can be used to troubleshoot communications on a port-by-port basis. • Port Monitor program (portmon.exe), which checks for errors, modem control, and status signals (Using Port Monitor on Page 35). In addition, it provides you with raw byte input and output counts.
Testing a Comtrol Port Testing a Comtrol Port Use the following procedure to test the RocketPort PC104 serial port. 1. Place a loopback plug on the COM port you are testing. Make sure all connectors are seated firmly and that the loop button is off. Note: Test terminal works for RS-232 and RS-422 mode. To build loopback plugs, see Building Additional DB9 Loopback Plugs on Page 30, Building Additional DB25 Loopback Plugs on Page 31, or Building Additional RJ45 Loopback Plugs on Page 31. 2.
Using Port Monitor The right most light is the loop indicator: If this is on, the COM port internal loopback feature is activated and any information or code entered in the terminal window loops back through the COM port circuitry. If this is off, the COM port internal loopback is deactivated, and any information or code entered in the terminal window is sent out of the port. Using Port Monitor The Port Monitor program (portmon.
Changing Screen Appearance Changing Screen Appearance While Port Monitor is running, there are a number of commands and controls that change the appearance of the screen. Desired Change Procedure Change the monitor window font. Select Font from the Edit menu. Change width of a single column. Left-click on the column separator (vertical) line and drag it to the desired width. Change column placement. Left-click in the middle of the column you want to move and drag it to the desired location.
Report Configuration Report Configuration To configure reports, select Config from the Edit menu. The Single report options cover all ports and are overwritten each time the reports are generated. The Multiple report options generate a separate report for each port, and each report file is appended each time the report is generated. For Hour reports, use the Single and Multiple drop lists to select whether you are generating single or multiple reports, or both.
Port Monitor Variables All Port Monitor calculations are saved at program exit and on the hour in a binary file named calcs.dat. This enables you to halt Port Monitor execution without losing accumulated data. Port Monitor also creates a \REPORTS directory. All hourly and daily reports are saved in this directory, under the following names: • hall.txt — hourly single report • dall.txt — daily single report • hcomx.txt — hourly multiple reports, where x is the port number • dcomx.
Port Monitor Variables Variable PC104 RocketPort Option Description TxDayCnt Transmit bytes count sent in the last day. RxMinCnt Receive bytes count sent in the last minute. RxHourCnt Receive bytes count sent in the last hour. RxDayCnt Receive bytes count sent in the last day. TxMinCntWrk Transmit bytes count sent in this minute. TxHourCntWrk Transmit bytes count sent in this hour. TxDayCntWrk Transmit bytes count sent in this day. RxMinCntWrk Receive bytes count sent in this minute.
Using Peer Tracer Using Peer Tracer The Peer Tracer program (peer.exe) is specifically designed to view the internal operations of NS-Link for the purpose of troubleshooting communications on Windows NT systems. Peer enables you to see: • Receive and transmit data • Internal driver event traces • Advanced configuration and status information Like Test Terminal, Peer acts as a simple terminal session, and is used to send and receive text information to and from NS-Link.
Log Functions Log Functions All logging functions are found under the File menu. To start keeping a log, select Log to Disk from the File menu. The other options on this menu are View Disk Log, Clear Disk Log, Clear Screen, and Exit. Compact flash technology does not support an unlimited number of writes. Use the compact flash to store applications but avoid using it for file storage. If your application generates files, save the files on a remote system.

Appendix E. Changing the WatchDog Timer The hardware watch-dog timer is not supported by the installed Linux kernel. However, it may be accessed directly by user applications if desired. The Watch-Dog Timer is a device used to ensure that standalone systems can reset themselves and recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to hang or crash. The Watch-Dog Timer is a countdown timer that will reset the CPU when it times out. The Watch-Dog Timer is enabled by reading port 443H.
Changing the WatchDog Timer The Watch-Dog Timer is activated by reading the value at address 443H. To ensure that a reset condition does not occur, the timer must be periodically reset to restart the countdown at the beginning of the defined interval before the time out period has expired. This is achieved by first disabling the timer by reading address 843H and then re-enabling it by reading the value at 443H before the timer reaches zero. Refer to the example of the assembly program below.
