Link test
If you still want to make a link test, do as follows:
1. In the easyMail application, click Actions > Link test.
After the Link test is requested, the NCS assigns a LES for performing the
Link test. This can take a while.
2. When the Linktest window appears, click Execute to start the test.
A popup window informs you that the test has started. When the test has
ended another popup window informs you that the test was completed
successfully or that it failed.
Stop Transmission
If you want the system to immediately stop transmitting, select Actions >
Clear protocol.
The current protocol is then cleared, and any ongoing transmission is
stopped.
To test basic system connectivity, we recommend that you send a
short message to yourself instead of using the link test. For details
on how to send a message, see Write a routine priority message
on page 31.
Because the link test has low priority in the network it can take
a long time for the system to complete the link test, and during
this time the system has limited functionality.
