Diagnostics

From the Diagnostics screen, you can test the Adapter’s functionality. Simply check the function to be tested in the checkbox beside the name and click the Start button to start the test. Then, click the Stop button to stop the test. Check the Repeat box for repeated testing. The pass rate will appear under Pass/Fail on the right.

Register This tests the Registers of the MAC for such things as reading and writing to the MAC chip and getting its feedback value and time.

EEPROM This reads and writes a value to the EEPROM, testing that the return value is not the same as the writing value.

Loopback This tests the Adapter’s response to the built-in loopback address.

By clicking the + symbol to the left of Diagnostics in the menu, you can open the Send and Receive screen. The Send and Receive test can only be run by two PCs, each equipped with a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Network Adapter and each running the Utility. Select which is the Initiator and which is the Responder. Then, click the Start button to start the test. Click the Stop button to stop the test when you are finished.

Throughput This displays the Adapter’s throughput speed, both sent and received as well as the total throughput.
