Running the Transmit/Receive Test
The transmit/receive test checks the NIC’s ability to transmit
or receive packets from another computer. To run the
transmit/receive test, two servers with 3C985B-SX
server NICs installed are required. One server sends data
and the other receives data. Both servers must be running
Windows NT 4.0.
CAUTION:
Running the transmit/receive test while
connected to an active network can cause intermittent
failures. Connect to an inactive network on which only
the PCs being tested are operating.
