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-550TX Software CD-ROM from your station's

(the primary station's) CD-ROM drive, and insert it into an

available drive of a second station on your LAN. At the DOS

prompt (here shown as >), key in:

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-550TX.

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.
