Running the Group 3 Test
The Group 3 test is called the Echo Exchange Test. It tests the adapter’s ability to transmit and receive data while on the network.
CAUTION: Running the Group 3 test while connected to an active network can cause intermittent failures. To avoid this, connect to an inactive network on which only the computer being tested and the echo server are operating.
To run the Group 3 test on the network, you need a second computer set up as an echo server. The echo server receives packets from the adapter being tested and echoes them back to the adapter.
The second computer must contain a 3Com adapter running at the same speed as the Fast EtherLink EISA adapter
