device connections. The port must be online and connected to a device. The
following is an example of an online test:

A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow. Enter a new
value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the default value. If you wish to
terminate this process before reaching the end of the list press 'q' or 'Q' and the
ENTER key to do so.
