Diagnostics 157
Prerequisites
The diagnostic utility runs under MS-DOS® v6.22 or later. It will not run from a DOS window in IBM
OS/2® or any Microsoft Windows products. This utility is designed to test hardware operation and
confirm the adapter's ability to communicate with another adapter in the same network, which primarily
confirms cabling status.
This diagostic utility is not a throughput measurement tool. The utility can test the adapter whether or not
there is a responder on the network; however, to conduct a thorough test you should set up a second
system on the network as a responder prior to starting a test.
These diagnostics use pmode/w DOS Extender V1.33.
