If TCP/IP is running, the loopback test invokes the UNIX ping command
from the mlusr session. You are then prompted to enter the IP address or
the host machine name.
Note: You can use the terminalÕs interrupt character to escape out of
ping.
Following is a sample session of a loopback test performed on a Meridian
Link system using TCP/IP.
Example of a successful ping operation:
This command tests links 0 and 1.
mlusr> loopback test
Would you like to ping the host machine or perform the
loopback test between ports 0 and 1 on the AM?
Enter p to ping, <cr> to perform loopback (default): p
Note: If a failure occurs in checking for TCP/IP, or if the user
chooses <cr> then the default loopback diagnostic test is
performed for ports 0 and 1.
Enter the IP address in internet dot notation or host name:
