Ethernet Port
Loop-back Test
The
Ethernet
option on the WINDIAG Main Menu allows you to
select the Ethernet communication port (1 through 3) to test.
This test configures the Ethernet port’s ability to transmit and receive
via the twisted pair. The text transmits frames and compares them
against received frames. You need a special loop-back plug (shown in
) to perform the Ethernet loop-back test:

Note
:
You
cannot
test a communications port while you are using it.
You can only test currently unused ports. After you complete
testing on all other communication ports (and verify their correct
functioning), you must reconnect (using a now validated port)
and test the remaining untested port.

1.
Connect an external Ethernet loop-back plug (see
