Network Operation Test
If you have access to a second station on the LAN, then skip
ahead to Step 5. If you do not have access to a second station
on the LAN, then the network test will be limited to blind
transmission of test packets (none of which will be returned to
the primary station). Follow the cues at the foot of the screen
to select and run the Network Diagnostic program. Observe the
Packets Sent line to see a steadily and rapidly increasing packet
count. This will indicate normal transmission onto the LAN,
and will be the end of your Verification/Diagnostic run. Skip
the remaining steps shown below.
Remove the DFE-550FX Software Diskette from your station's
(the primary station's) diskette drive, and insert it into an
available drive of a second station on your LAN. At the DOS
prompt (here shown as >), key in:
> A:\DIAG.EXE
and <RETURN>. The opening screen of the Diagnostic program
will appear onscreen at the second station. Follow the cues at
the foot of the screen to select and run the Network Test
program at the second station. The second station then begins
broadcasting test packets, and at the same time is also ready to
receive and return test signals transmitted from the primary
station newly installed DFE-550FX.
Return to the primary station and follow the cues at the foot of
the screen to select and run the Network Diagnostic program.
Observe the Packets Sent and Packets Received lines to see that
they track together (always showing equal count numbers),
which verifies normal network operation.
The most likely causes of failure for any of the diagnostic tests are
incorrect options settings, option settings that conflict with the
settings of other boards or improper installation. In the event of
any failure in diagnostic tests, refer to the Troubleshooting section
of this guide.
