Cheetah Gigabit Adapter
Local Tests
These tests can be used to test the basic functions of the adapter. Select the “Run Loopback Tests” and “Run Internal Tests” check boxes either together or separately. The tests to be performed will show “Ready” as the status in the test list box. Then click on the “Run Local Tests” button to start the tests. The progress of each test is shown by the “Test Progress” status bar. When the tests are complete, click on the “View Test Results” button to display the test results.
Send and Receive Test
This test verifies that the network cable is connected correctly, so that the network card can transmit and receive data.
The test requires two computers with the Cheetah Gigabit Adapter installed. One computer generates and sends test messages, the other computer receives the test messages and transmits them back to the sender.
Note: You should run the Local Tests before running the Send and Receive Test to ensure that the card’s basic functions are working properly.
To run the test, on one computer be sure the configuration utility is running to enable it as the receiver. On the other computer, simply click on the “Run” button to start sending test messages. The progress of the test is shown by the “Server Activity” status bar. You can view the test results by clicking on the “View Test Results” button.
