Describes
* The diagnostic test is more thorough if you use a loop-back connector.
* 3Com modem only; the test checks only the internal hardware up to the mini-PCI card, and does not
check the mini-PCI panel or any external cabling.
†
Use an appropriate external device to exercise the port. See the help text for the tests in the menu.
