• The optional -l parameter defines a file in which to log the test results.
A text copy of the DDTP test results are placed in the specified file.
For example, to test the second card in a system and store the test results in log.txt in the
current directory, you could enter the following command:
>dos4gw e:\diag\ddtp -c 1 -l log.txt
• The optional -e parameter activates the external loopback test. Both the internal and
external loopback example tests show 1000 packets sucessfully received with 0 errors
detected, indicating that the card is functioning properly.
The test result from the previous example could look like this:
