A test application, called WCOM32 will have been extracted to the folder
c:\Comtrol\Programs\RP550XP Simply double click the WCOM32 icon to run
the program.
WCOM32 is a Windows 32 MDI application and may be used as a confidence test of the
COM ports.
WCOM32 allows you to open a com port, send and receive data, toggle O/P modem
signals and view the status of I/P modem signals.
A loopback connector connected to the port under test allows data sent by WCOM32 to
be looped back to the receive.
On line help is available.
Please note that WCOM32 was originally written for use with the original RocketPort
ASIC based controllers. It can be used with the UART based RocketPort/BroadPort
550 range but features specific to the RocketPort ASIC based controllers are not
supported.
