6. Testing the Adapter
We recommend you carry out a test of the adapter after repairs and each time you suspect a problem. The
PROATM diagnostic utility permits to verify the correct working of the adapter and its hardware
compatibility with the computer. It does NOT permit to run a loop test.
proatm.exe
runs on DOS only. The simplest way for launching this test is to boot your computer on the
PROATM CDROM. Then type “proatm” at the console prompt (FreeDOS).
proatm.exe
helps differentiate hardware defaults from software or configuration problems.
The main window gives the characteristics of the adapter(s) detected in the computer (Figure 3).
