in Figure 110.

Figure 110. Diagnostics Window
A successful test is indicated with PASS and an unsuccessful test with
FAIL. In a properly functioning card, all tests will report PASS, with the
following possible exceptions:
The BootROM Checksum Test reports "N/A" for an AT-2450FTX,
AT-2700FX, AT-2700FTX, or AT-2745FX Series card if the optional
BootPROM chip is not installed.
The Link Test, which checks to see if a valid connection exists between
the adapter port and the remote device (for example, an Ethernet
switch) will fail if the port on the adapter is not connected to a remote
device or if the remote device is not powered on.
The Internal Loopback Test for an adapter with a fiber optic port
requires a loopback connector, shown in Figure 111. The connector is
used to test the adapter's ability to transmit and receive traffic. This
connector is not available from Allied Telesyn. The test reports "FAIL" if
a loopback connector is not present.
