NAME

dts − evoke the DECnet test sender

SYNTAX

dts [test[/qualifiers][/test-specific-qualifiers]]

where

test

is the name of the test you want to run:

connect specifies a connect test.  These tests verify that the dtr node can process connect requests and return accept and reject messages with or without optional data.

data specifies a data test.  These tests include sink, sequence, pattern, and echo tests. 

disconnect specifies a disconnect test. These tests verify that the node can send out disconnect messages with or without optional data. 

interrupt specifies an interrupt test.  These tests include sink, sequence, pattern, and echo tests for interrupt data. 

qualifiers

are the valid qualifiers for this command.  Once specified, these qualifiers remain in effect for all applicable tests until you either change them or exit from dts. Precede  each  qualifier with a slash (/). You can specify any number of these qualifiers:

nodename=node-id
specifies the name or address of the DECnet node on which you want dtr to run. The default is the local node. If you run dtr on a remote node, you must run it on a default nonprivileged account (guest account) because you cannot specify access control information with this qualifier.

print or noprint (default)
tells dts whether or not to print test results.

statistics or nostatistics (default)
tells dts whether or not to print statistics on data and interrupt tests.

display or nodisplay (default)
tells dts whether or not to print the data and interrupt message transmitted to dtr.

speed=number
specifies the test line speed in bits per second (default = 0). The dts program uses this data for reporting statistics.

Test-specific Qualifiers
are the valid qualifiers for the test you specify. Test-specific qualifiers apply only to the current test.

For detailed descriptions of the dts qualifiers and test-specific qualifiers, see Appendix C of the DECnet-ULTRIX Installation Guide. 

DESCRIPTION

The dts utility is the DECnet-ULTRIX transmitter test program, which runs four tests: the connect test, the data test, the disconnect test, and the interrupt test.

Specify the test you want in one of these two ways:

% dts test[/qualifiers][/test-specific-qualifiers]

or

% dts
dts> test[/qualifiers][/test-specific-qualifiers]

The dts program initiates each test by issuing a connect request to the dtr (DECnet  test  receiver)  program.  Parameter information associated with each type of test requested is passed by dts to dtr during a connection.

EXAMPLE

The following command invokes a data test with remote node OHLONE.  Data messages of 512 bytes are transmitted to the dtr program on the remote node, which then echoes them back.  The test runs for 10 seconds. Test parameters and summary statistics are displayed after the test is completed.

% dts data/nodename=ohlone/type=echo/size=512/seconds=10
