NIC Autotest

In order for the NIC Autotest to complete, the NIC needs to be set up (power on, drivers running, etc.).

Press (NIC Autotest) to verify the correct operation of an Ethernet (10 or 100 Mbps) adapter card.

The NIC Autotest determines as much as possible about the physical connection to the network adapter card by:

Verifying the cabling from the desktop to the NIC.

Checking for a 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps link pulse and

qconfiguring the Network Assistant accordingly. Confirming network connectivity by pinging the NIC.

The NIC Autotest displays the network address used by the device. It will also display packet errors if any are detected. For example, it will tell you if a packet with a bad CRC is transmitted by the NIC.

The NIC Autotest display is shown in Figure 5-2.

Marginal: The NIC signal level is not within specification. The problem is either excessive attenuation in the cable or a defective NIC card.
