User Diagnostics & Error Identifiers

Chapter 4. User Diagnostics and Error Identifiers

This section explains how the diagnostic program and error identifiers are to be used.

User Diagnostics

The user diagnosis program, provided in the diag system, can be used to check or identify

an adapter failure. It allows internal loopback tests (regular and advanced mode) and

external loopback tests (advanced mode) to be run, using a wrap plug.

and finally select the fddi adapter.

Using Advanced Mode Diagnosis
