User Diagnostics
The user diagnostic program, provided by the
smit diag
command, must be used to check
or identify a failure of the board. It allows the user to run internal loopback tests at DEC chip
level.
Internal loopback test is used to verify that the internal logic operations function correctly.
In loopback mode, the chip takes frames from the transmit list and loops them to the receive
list.
