ESTS
The Group 2 test (for the 3C590-COMBO adapter only,
not
the
3C590-TPO adapter) checks the adapter’s ability to transmit
and receive data via the internal transceiver.
The Group 3 test (the Echo Exchange Test) tests the adapter’s
ability to transmit and receive data while on the network.
If the adapter passes all three tests successfully, hardware
failure is ruled out. If a problem still remains, look at cabling,
software, and other issues that affect functionality on the
network.
