Conducting TSTSERIO tests with the
loopback plug
Introduction
The TSTSERIO command requires an external loopback connector plug for
its edata, emsr, and eint subtests.
9-pin connector plug
The standard serial loopback connector is a female 9-pin D-sub connector.
This connector has the following pins wired together:
CTS (pin 8) wired to (pin 7) RTS
SIN (pin 2) wired to (pin 3) SOUT
DTR (pin 4) wired to (pin 6) DSR
Once the plug is installed on the serial port, TSTSERIO can be invoked
according to the procedure outlined in the previous section.
