Changing the Test Setup

You may want to change certain aspects of a test; for example, the number of times the test repeats or whether the test halts when it encounters an error. If you need to change the test setup, follow these steps:

1From the Test menu, select Test Setup. Or, in the Run Tests dialog box, select Test Setup.

2Select any Test Setup dialog box field.

3In the Group Select box, select a test group.

4Change the test setup.

For example, if you select the Group 1 tests, you can make the following changes to the setup:

In the Group X Tests box, select a test. Press the spacebar to enable or disable an individual test.

In the Repetitions box, specify the number of times you want to run the tests, or select the Continuous option.

In the Errors box, press the spacebar to select or deselect the Halt on Error parameter.

5Select OK.

6From the Test menu, select Run Tests. Select Start to run the tests.

Getting Help If a Test Fails

If a test fails, the NIC may not be defective. The problem may be incorrect option settings, option settings that conflict with the settings of other boards, or improper installation.

If a DOS diagnostic test fails, you can get additional information as follows:

From the Run Tests dialog box, select the test that failed, and press Enter.

Select Zoom and press Enter.
