Transmit Error Codes

If you experience time-out errors during the on-ring test, try running the wrap test in the diagnostics. If the wrap test is completed successfully, but the on-ring test fails, it might indicate problems on the Token-Ring network that the NIC is opening onto during the on-ring test.

For any other errors, ensure that the NIC and cabling are properly connected, and retry the test. If the NIC continues to fail, record the error and contact your network administrator.
