Test the Configuration

After configuring the communications protocol, you can test the configuration to see if it has correctly established contact with the host. Error messages appear if the communication fails. Testing using the Configurator (CAICCI-PC Properties dialog) differentiates between errors related to the communications protocol configuration and errors related to the CA solution applications. You can locate the error precisely and quickly, and modify your protocol, options, or both until the communication is successful.

To test the configuration

  1. Run the Configurator.

    The CAICCI-PC Properties dialog opens.

  2. Click Start on the Test tab.

    The configuration test starts. The status and any error messages appear in Test Log.

  3. Review the messages, correct the errors, and test the corrected configuration.
  4. Click OK when you finish with your testing.

    The CAICCI-PC Properties dialog closes.
