ONFIGURATION AND IAGNOSTICS
This test actually performs five separate tests:
• Configuration Test — checks the initial status of the Ethernet
controller
• I/O Registers Test — checks I/O accessibility
• Internal Loop Back Test — checks the card's controller
• External Loop Back Test — checks the network link
• RAM Test — checks the condition of the on-board RAM
The screen displays the PASSED or FAILED count for each test.
If a test fails, press the spacebar to display the reason for the
failure and possible solutions.

Testing the Network Connection

This test verifies the card's ability to communicate with other
devices on the network. At the start of the test, set up one com-
puter as a Responder and at least one as an Initiator. The
Responder displays the status of communications with each
Initiator on the network, while the Initiator displays the current
Responder and the status of corresponding communications.
Note: Should any of these tests fail, reboot your computer and
run the diagnostics again to see if the problem persists.
