Group 2 Diagnostic

The Group 2 diagnostic (Adapter Wrap Test) is a wrap test that causes all user-transmitted data to be sent and received without going to the network.

A lobe cable must be connected from the selected adapter to a retiming concentrator or MAU for all tests.

Running Diagnostic Tests

The Conﬁguration and Diagnostic Program can be started from the menus or the DOS command line. For command line instructions, see the INSTRUCT.TXT ﬁle in the \DIAG subdirectory on the TokenDisk diskette.

You need to unload the drivers to run the diagnostic program. To unload drivers, exit this program and boot using a DOS diskette.
