Testing a USB Network Interface

To test or reset the USB interface, follow these steps:

1. On the USB tab, select the USB interface you want to test and then

click Test. This opens the dialog shown in Figure 2.3.
NOTE: You can only test a USB interface if it is not in use by another
application.

Figure 2.3 Test Dialog

2. From the Test dialog, you can perform the following tasks:

• Click Test to confirm the ability of an application to

communicate with the USB interface. A series of statistics
will be retrieved and displayed on the dialog, as shown in

Figure 2.3. Consult the online help (by clicking Help) for

descriptions of these statistics.

• Click Comm to confirm the ability of the USB interface to

communicate with other devices on the network. The USB
interface is configured so that it can receive service pin

messages from other devices on the network. When you click

Comm, the USB interface will wait to receive a service pin
message. Once a service pin message is received, the USB

interface will ping that device every second. After the ping
process begins, the Comm button will change to a Quit

button. Click Quit to quit pinging the device.
