Troubleshooting Terminal, Printer, and Serial Device Connections
TermDSM Functionality
TermDSM is a command-based utility program which allows you to monitor
and troubleshoot the DTS. It is set up so that you can monitor the
condition of a single device or an entire DTC.
TermDSM provides several specific functions. Some commands provide only
information, such as a listing of all the DTCs associated with the system
or the internal configuration information of any DTC. If problems are
suspected, TermDSM can be used to test any DTC and its connections to
devices.
If a problem is complex enough that the state of the port and/or the DTC
subsystem needs to be looked at by an HP support representative, the
subsystem information can be copied to a disc file and sent to
Hewlett-Packard.
If it is determined that a device's connection is unusable, TermDSM is
capable of aborting the session on the port so that a new session can be
started on the device. This is also true if the connections of several
devices are unusable or if all of the connections of the devices of a DTC
are unusable.
