4.4.3 Station order check test (optical loop system only)
This test checks the order of connected stations in the optical loop system.
The following table lists the correspondence between the loop status and the order of stations that can be checked in
the test.
When the station order check test is performed using a peripheral connected to the remote master station in the
system above, the following window appears. The result shows that the loopback is performed in the stations, the
station number 2 and 1, connected in the forward loop direction.
