Test Results for Mac or PC<br />
Below are brief descriptions of each test phase:<br />
1. Internal Hardware Test<br />
This test verifies the <strong>BiPort</strong>-to-host connection. If the connection is<br />
working properly, the test will display “PASS” and return the <strong>BiPort</strong>’s<br />
internal firmware revision number. Write this revision number down in<br />
case you ever need to contact Midiman Tech Support.<br />
If your <strong>BiPort</strong> fails this test, it could mean a bad <strong>BiPort</strong> or other hardware<br />
failure, but most often it means one of a few very specific things:<br />
• You have selected the incorrect port settings in the diagnostic program.<br />
• <strong>BiPort</strong> power is not properly connected.<br />
• Your serial cable is not compatible or is defective.<br />
• Your computer’s serial port is configured incorrectly, is defective or<br />
disabled. There may be an infrared function available for the serial<br />
port, and it is enabled. You should disable the infrared function via<br />
the BIOS CMOS Setup of your computer’s motherboard<br />
2. Internal Buffers Test<br />
This test verifies the <strong>BiPort</strong>-to-host connection, as well as the <strong>BiPort</strong>’s<br />
internal MIDI data buffers. If it fails, it most often is due to one or more<br />
of the following:<br />
• Your serial cable is not compatible or is defective.<br />
• Your computer’s serial port is configured incorrectly, is defective or<br />
disabled. There may be an infrared function available for the serial<br />
port, and it is enabled. You should disable the infrared function via<br />
the BIOS CMOS Setup of your computer’s motherboard<br />
• The <strong>BiPort</strong> is defective. This is extremely rare as the <strong>BiPort</strong> units are<br />
tested rigorously at the factory before shipping. If you think this is<br />
the case, please contact MIDIMAN Technical Support.<br />
3. Transmit/Receive Test<br />
This test verifies the <strong>BiPort</strong>’s ability to transmit and receive MIDI data<br />
on its ports. If it fails, it most often is due to one or more of the following:<br />
