Open NIC for Ring Operation Test
This test prepares the 3C359 NIC for a NIC ring operation
test and verifies the 3C359 NIC’s ability to transmit and
receive data over the network. This test requires you to
connect to an STP or a UTP cable with a DAU, MAU, CAU,
or token ring switch at the other end.
Ring Operations Test
This test assesses communication on the ring. The
3C359 NIC must be attached to the ring to run this
test successfully. The 3C359 NIC also must be set to
the correct ring speed.
Close NIC Test
This test verifies the 3C359 NIC’s ability to close the 3C359
NIC and terminate the Ring Operations Test. The 3C359
NIC must have been previously opened.
