Call Testing and TCP/IP Tools

Two test selections—Manual Call and Internet Setup Test—are available for testing call placement
and session connection with remote hosts. Both tests cause a call to be placed to a remote node and
display the progress of the connection. Manual Call (command 5) prompts you to specify the
desired remote node by its profile number in Menu 11. Internet Setup Test (command 11)
automatically calls the remote node that has been specified as an ISP.
