This test checks whether or not data communication can normally be performed
between the host and a destination station (designated with network number and
station number). Especially when the destination has another network number, the
relay network and station numbers are displayed. So, make sure that the routing
parameters are properly set.
In the following system, when the communication test is conducted to 4Ns6 of network
number 4 by the GX Developer connected to 1Ns1 of network number 1, the monitor
screen shown below is displayed to verify that normal communication can be
performed with the contents of the routing parameter settings.
