Test Selection

Select Test from the Host RS232 Test Menu
First line: Test
Second line: 123
The host port should be connected to the PC using the port-to-PC test
cable (AC00446 or equivalent) that came with your NCR 5945. Any
terminal program (such as Procomm Plus® or the terminal program
from Windows) can be used for this test. The RS232 parameters of this
program must be set to the same RS232 parameters specified for the
host port test. The port the NCR 5945 is connected to should be
selected on the PC.
Note: To change the communication parameters, press Cancel to
return to the HOST screen. The keypad Yes and No keys are used
to scroll through the available options. Refer to the following Baud
Rate, Parity, and Data Bit selections for detailed information on
changing the communication parameters. Once the parameters
have been set, select TEST from the HOST screen and retest.
Press any key on the NCR 5945 keypad (except the Cancel key). That
character is transmitted over the RS232 host port and received and
displayed on the PC. The character will not be displayed on the NCR
5945.
If a key is pressed on the PC keyboard, that character is received on the
NCR 5945 and displays on the second line of the unit. If the second
line becomes full, the next key pressed clears the line and displays
starting at the beginning of the line.
Pressing the Cancel key during this test returns the HOST screen.
Pressing Cancel again returns the Diagnostics Host RS232 Test screen.
When selecting the RS485 test, the cable configuration is different. The
PC must connect to an AC03008 which is connected to an RCB 67/RCB
29. The RCB is connected to the unit through an AC (?). The PE00732
power supply will connect into the RCB 67/29.
