Test Options
There are two test options: the wrap test and the
on-ring test.
The wrap test ensures that the PC Card and cable
hardware are functioning properly. For this test, connect
the NIC and cable to the network to perform a wrap test
through the hub or concentrator, or insert a wrap plug
(no wrap plug is required if you have a shielded twisted
pair cable connection) to help isolate a failure to the
NIC, the cable, or the wiring to the hub or concentrator.
The on-ring test verifies communication between the NIC
and the LAN. This test requires that the NIC is connected
to a network with other NICs, so the ring speed of the
network can be automatically sensed. If the NIC under
test is the only one on the network, the on-ring test will
fail. Continue testing the NIC using the wrap test, or
connect the NIC to a network that has at least one other
station connected and open.
