Testing the Link
With the PCs connected to the serial ports of the EtherPaths, running terminal emulation
programs, it should be possible for each PC to send characters to the terminal of the other across
the link, as shown in Figure 3 below. You will not see the characters being typed on the local
screen unless “Local Echo” is enabled.
