Ethernet I/O; Serial I/O - Banner iVu Plus TG Series Instruction Manual

• When a client closes the connection, a log entry indicates that the channel is no longer being listened to

14.3.2 Ethernet I/O

Ethernet I/O Status
Use the Ethernet I/O Status screen to verify that the Ethernet wiring was correctly set up. In addition to determining if the
link has been established, incoming and outgoing traffic can be monitored.

14.3.3 Serial I/O

Using the Port Status Screen for Testing RS-232 Communications
Use Port Status screen to ensure data is entering and exiting the iVu. This can be useful for debugging issues such as
improper wiring, mismatched baud rates, or other serial I/O issues. To access the Port Status screen, go to Main Menu >
System > Communications > Serial I/O and click Status.
• The upper field shows the bytes received (request frame) on the iVu from the control device
• The lower field shows the bytes sent (response frame) from the iVu to the control device
Port Errors
The Port Errors screen can help to debug communications channel issues: Parity, Break, and Framing indicate mismatched
port settings or, in the case of Break, incorrect cabling.
Using the iVu Command Channel Sample Application or a Terminal Program for
Testing
The easiest way to test that the iVu command channel is correctly receiving and transmitting data is to use either the iVu
Command Channel Sample App (available in the iVu installation package) or to use a terminal program running on a PC.
If you are using a terminal program, in the terminal program's configuration:
• Set new-line transmit to <CR><LF> (and set the end-of-frame delimiters on the iVu to match)
• Enable local echo
• Set the Serial port so that the PC port number's baud rate, data, parity, and stop bits match those set up on the iVu
