Freeway User Guide
The string name represents the short name of the protocol in most cases and alp stands
for “asynchronous loopback program”.
Once you start the loopback program it will prompt you for some information before it
starts sending data. The loopback program is designed to transfer test data from an odd
numbered ICP port to the adjacent even-numbered ICP port (example: ports 0 and 1).
make sure that you have the two ports under test connected with a loopback cable, null
modem, or modem eliminator. For more detailed information on loopback test pro-
grams, refer to Freeway Loopback Test Procedures (DC-900-1533).
3.10 The Next Steps
After you have successfully performed the software installation procedures described in
this chapter, proceed as follows:
• Read Chapter 6 to determine whether you need to customize your system config-
uration. If you have installed more than one protocol, you can customize your
installation and run the loopback tests for the additional protocols. Customiza-
tion is not necessary at most sites.
• You can use the Freeway local console to display or customize server parameters
or perform server operations. Alternatively, you can access the Freeway Interactive
Menu using telnet or rlogin from the client system or any other computer on the
network.
• Familiarize yourself with Freeway operations as described in Chapter 4.
• Connect the WAN cables. Your Freeway server is ready to communicate with its
client computers.
