Diagnostics test function allows you to test the major components and verify the basic operations of the selected adapter. It performs many tests for the selected adapter and indicates the result of each test on a report window. Refer to Appendix 4 for more information.
Connectivity Test allows you to test the adapter's ability to transmit and receive data while on the network. To run the test, you need a second computer set up as an echo station. The echo station receives packets from the adapter being tested and echoes (loopback) them back to the adapter over the network.
