Bridging: The file server is configured with different interface
cards at the same time. Whenever two or more driver configurations
are listed together in this report, it is an indication of bridge
testing and that the drivers and cards are functioning at the same
time.
ASYNC Communications Testing: Modems and telephone lines are used
to communicate between the file server and a remote workstation
using an asynchronous operating system driver and shell driver
controlling the serial ports.
Extended Hardware Testing: Novell Disk Coprocessor boards (DCB)
and Novell SCSI disk subsystem interface boards (DIB) are used
in the file server to connect Novell disk subsystems to the file
server. Note that the DCBs are only tested on the
II+
and
III+,
as they are only compatible with the 16-bit AT-type bus.
Network printing is tested by sending a print job from a
workstation to a printer connected to the file server.
Workstation Testing: In situations where only a workstation
driver is available, the system is tested as a workstation,
such as with the Novell Network Interface Cards (NICs).
