Ethernet Test Page
There are two test levels for Ethernet communi-
cation on C|24: Internal and External.
Each test sends data packets through the C|24
Ethernet system. The "Sent" and "Received" val-
ues for each test show the number of packets
sent and received in the test, and the "Errors"
and "Retries" fields show percentage error in the
transmission and receiving process. An error
rate of 1 percent or less generally indicates ac-
ceptable performance. (In normal operation, er-
rors are retried and no data loss occurs.)
