2.4 Testing The Adapter
It is not necessary to test the PCMCIA
Ethernet adapter. However, if you encounter prob-

The diagnostic program runs several tests and the
results are indicated by either PASS or FAIL.
Make sure that the network cable is attached (and
properly terminated if using a BNC connection) to
the adapter when running this program. If any test
fails, the program notifies you of the error and
suggests actions to correct the problem. Follow the
on-screen prompt to start or stop the Network
Function Test.
The following suite of tests are available
through the diagnostic program:
1.
Configuration Test: Identifies the host PC
2.
I/O Test: Tests configured I/O port
3.
ID Test: Verifies the adapter’s node ID
4.
RAM Test: Checks on-board RAM
5.
Internal Loop back Test: Performs trans-
mit/receive tests within the controller
6.
External Loop back Test: Performs trans-
