Running the Loop-Back Test (D3 Only)

This diagnostic test periodically runs the FlashConnect boo application and records in the w3logs,loopback file the state of the application (success or failure), when the test started, and whenever the test switches between success and failure. In addition, the results of each test are displayed on the console. This test can be used to determine when a site goes down or to periodically poll a site.

To run this test you need to know:

the name of the Web server.
the port number the Web server is using (usually port 80).
the number of seconds between checks.

This diagnostic test can be run on a running FlashConnect site and does not change any FlashConnect configuration parameters. This program can also be copied to and run on D3 systems that do not have FlashConnect installed on them.

After starting, loop-back continues running until a key is pressed. Press Q to quit or ENTER to continue.

Respond to these prompts:

Enter the host name: ?	Type the name of the Web server running FlashConnect.
Enter the port to use (usually 80): ?	Assign a port number from 1-65535.
Enter number of seconds between checks: ?	Enter any number of seconds from 1-86400.
