1. A method of fast testing of an IEEE-1394-2008 Beta serial bus connection between two nodes, the method comprising:
setting a IEEE-1394-2008 Beta serial bus connection Port Error Count threshold to a customizable number;
monitoring the serial bus connection between the two nodes to determine a disconnect condition;
in response to determining the disconnect condition, repeatedly attempting fast reconnection with a number of attempts up to the customizable number;
in response to the repeated fast reconnection attempts establishing a reconnection after the number of attempts do not reach the customizable number, resetting a count of the number of attempts to zero; and
in response to the attempted fast reconnection attempts not establishing a reconnection after reaching the customizable number, determining a permanent disconnect has occurred and setting a port connect state to disconnected.
