Loop comm check
Loop Comm Check is used to determine which loop devices are not
communicating. When you run this command, the system checks
the device communications on your system's device loops. The
devices that are not communicating are listed in a report that you
can then use to troubleshoot the problem. Once a report is
generated, it remains in memory until another report is generated.
This allows you to access the latest report in Reports menu >
Diagnostics > Loop Comm Check.
