Verifying the LAT Service
Verifying the LAT Service
Do This
To verify whether the service is functioning, try connecting to the new service.
Once connected, you can assess whether the device responds appropriately. The
appropriate response depends on what device is attached to the access server port.
When you have adequate information, return to local mode (press the Break key or a
local-switch character) and disconnect the service by typing DISCONNECT at the
Local> prompt.
For a computer, you may want to repeat this procedure to verify that your first session
was disconnected by the host. You should receive the standard login procedure each
time you connect to any computer offering a service.
Example: Verifying the LAT Service
The following example shows the command for verifying a previously defined LAT
service A_DEVICE, and its port (port 5, named PORT_5):
Local> CONNECT LAT A_DEVICE DESTINATION PORT_5
Problem Solving
If you have any problem connecting to the service or using the device, use the
following series of commands to review the service and port characteristics:
• Verify whether the service is set up correctly by using the SHOW SERVICE
service-name
CHARACTERISTICS command. For example, with the service
A_DEVICE, the command appears as follows:
Local>
SHOW SERVICE A_DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS
The service characteristics display shows all the ports assigned to a local service
and indicates its other characteristics. For a sample of the service characteristics
display, refer to Displaying Information About a Service in this chapter.
• Verify whether the port is properly configured by entering a SHOW PORT
command and looking at the port characteristics display. For example, for port 5,
the command is as follows:
Local>
SHOW PORT 5
• Verify the access server characteristics, for instance, that announcements are
enabled and service groups are valid, by using the SHOW SERVER
CHARACTERISTICS command as follows:
Local>
SHOW SERVER CHARACTERISTICS
