Note: You can configure RS-485 loopback by setting CPU/System
Controller board switches SW3-1 & SW3-2 ON.
 Port 3 - RS-485 use loop-back wires or CPU Switch SW3 (see
Figure 5-7).
These tests verify the correct operation of the communication ports.
Note: You cannot test a communications port while you are using it.
You can only test currently unused ports. After you complete
testing on all other communication ports (and verify their correct
functioning), you must reconnect (using a now validated port)
and test the remaining untested port.

1. Connect an external loop-back plug to the port on the CPU you
want to test. Valid ports are: COM1, COM2, or COM3.
