ATM as Client/Server Loop Tests

• These tests verify that the ATM is behaving like a client or


server as expected (listening for server, or not listening
for client).
• You must change your Host IP address in the ATM comms
configuration to 127.0.0.1 and reboot before using these
tests.
• ATM as Client
• A successful test will return an "Connect to" message.
• An unsuccessful test will display no results.
• ATM as Server
• A successful test will return an "Open" status.
• An unsuccessful test will return a "connection refused"
status.

Client and Server Roles Explained

• ATM as Client
• When establishing the communications link
to the Host, the ATM initiates the
communication by connecting to the Host
Port.

• ATM as Server
• The ATM waits (listens) for the Host to
connect to a Local Port.

3. Query the status of a Local or Host Port

• This function determines if software other than


the APTRA Edge application (meaning this tool)
can connect to the Host.

• You can also use this to determine if the ATM is


opening a Listening port when it is configured
as a Server.

• Enter an IP Address and a Port Number. The


test will report the current status that particular
port.

4. Ping an IP Address
• Enter any IP address to test for basic connectivity

Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix.:


IP Address…………………………….. : 121.40.132.71
Subnet Mask………………………….. : 255.255.255.192
Default Gateway……………………… : 121.40.132.69

If no IP values are displayed check to make sure you


have physical network cable connection to the router.
For testing you can simply connect a crossover cable to
your laptop. You do not need to reconfigure the laptop.

B. Tracert

• Tracert allows you to trace the path that an IP


packet takes to its destination.

• This tool can be extremely helpful when


determining where communications break
down when an ATM message (packet) must
travel through multiple routers before reaching
the Host

NCR Confidential
C. Telnet

• If the network is blocking Pings, you can


normally still run telnet to try to reach the Host.

• Telnet is an older, text-based protocol that is


always installed with Windows.

• Use this test when the ATM is configured as a


client
