The Verification/Diagnostic Program provides two levels of testing: adapter function testing and network operation testing. Adapter testing includes three separate procedures:
a.Serial ROM Verification
b.Controller Internal Loopback test
c.Twister Layer Loopback test

For the network operation test, the cable connecting your station with its supporting hub must be in place. Network test involves “broadcast” transmission of test packets from the primary station. The test cannot be fully implemented unless a second station on the LAN is available to the network operation test, in order to return the test packets to the primary station.
