Setting Up An Echo Server - 3Com 3C509B User Manual

To run the Group 3 test on the network, you need a second
PC to serve as an echo server, and it must have a 3Com NIC
installed. The echo server receives packets from and echoes
packets back to the NIC being tested. The diagnostics
program provided with the NIC supports the 3C509B echo
server diagnostics program.

in drive A of the echo server.
2 Start the diagnostics program on the echo server.
The diagnostics program that you use is dictated by the
