Types of Tests
The diagnostic tests are divided into the following groups.
The Group 1 tests (default) check the physical components and circuitry on the adapter.
The Group 2 test (Network Loopback Test) is not used on
The Group 3 test (Echo Exchange Test) tests the adapter’s ability to transmit and receive data while on the network.
If you run the diagnostic tests successfully, you rule out a hardware failure on the computer. If the adapter passes all the tests and there still appears to be a problem, look at cabling, software, and other issues that affect functionality on the network.
