The IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter
Advanced Diagnostics are a set of routines that
test the IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter.
The wrap plug is used to directly connect the
transmit and receive lines of the adapter during
testing. This can help you isolate a problem to
either the adapter or the adapter cable, by
allowing the tests to run with the cable
disconnected from the adapter.

IBM Personal Computers to the IBM Token-Ring
Network. The kit includes the following:
• IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter Card
• IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter
Diskette
• IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter Guide
to Operations
• Card Support Bracket.
The IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter and
its support interface handle the communication
between the your computer and the network.

program.
