QConvergeConsole utility is provided in the QConvergeConsole User's
Guide. All procedural information for that utility is covered in the
QConvergeConsole Help System.
QConvergeConsole CLI-based diagnostics include the following commands:
 To enable or disable the port beacon, issue the following command:
qaucli -pr nic -beacon [cna_port_inst] <on|off>
 To run an internal loopback test, issue the following command:
qaucli -pr nic -intloopback <cna_port_inst> <tests_num>
<on_error>
where tests_num is the number of tests (1–65535) and on_error is either
0=Ignore or 1=Abort
