Testing the Adapter

This appendix describes how to test the adapter using either the SunVTS diagnostic application or the onboard FCode self-test.

This appendix contains the following sections:

Using the SunVTS Diagnostic Software

The SunVTS software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single user interface. It is used to verify the configuration and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices. The SunVTS software operates primarily from a user interface that enables you to set test parameters while the program performs diagnostic test operations.

The following SunVTS tests can be used to test the SunATM adapter.

TABLE B-1SunVTS Tests

SunVTS Test	Description
nettest	Checks all the networking interfaces on a system.
atmtest	Provides functional test coverage of SunATM adapters. The
	atmtest provides better fault isolation as compared to nettest.

Note –Do not run nettest and atmtest at the same time.
