Full 2 Unit IR Test - (FIRTEST.EXE)
The Full 2 Unit IR test is not available on the OmniBook 5500. This test requires two
OmniBooks: one on which the IR is known to be good, and the computer to be tested. The
computer that is being tested will transmit IR packets to the known good computer, which will
transmit (reflect) the packets back. This method ensures both transmitting and receiving
functions are checked on the computer under test.
The test checks 115200 baud, 1.152 Mbps, and 4 Mbps by sending 20 packets at each speed
and looping through the 3 speeds three times for a total of 60 packets at each speed. Every
received packet is checked byte for byte against the packet that was sent. Every packet must
pass or the test will fail.
To run the "Full 2 Unit IR" test, perform the following steps:
1. Clean boot both computers.
Windows 95 -- reboot and press <shift><F5> shortly before or after the
computer displays "Starting Windows 95".
Windows for Workgroups -- reboot and press <F5> while the boot menu
is displayed.
After clean booting, change to the c:\omnibook\diag directory.
2. Prepare the known good computer to reflect packets to the test unit.
Run DIAG.EXE and highlight "Full 2 Unit IR" and press
<CTRL> + <ENTER>. (When desired testing duration is
complete, press any key to abort the reflecting end of the test.)
3. Position the computer to be tested so that the IR port is in line with the IR port on the
known good unit. For a simple pass/fail test, run DIAG.EXE, highlight "Full 2 Unit IR"
and press <ENTER>.
DOS Parameter Explanation
Internal Performs the internal (standalone) loopback
test. This option does not test as much of
the IR hardware, but will work with just one
computer. Do not use this parameter with
any of the other parameters.
Reflect Initiates the "known good" reflecting end of
the full 2 unit test.
Baud=xxxxxx Sets the baud for the first speed tested
(defaults to 115200 baud). Unless
/PHYTEST is also used, the 1.152M and
4M speeds will always be tested. Type in
the full number for the baud to be tested
(type 1152000 for 1.152Mbps, 4000000 for
4Mbps). Note -- This parameter must be
used on both the known good reflecting
computer and the computer under test.
Both computers must start at the same
speed to be able to communicate.
Loops=xxxxx Sets the number of times to loop through
