Using the TroubleShooter Program

TroubleShooter warns you to change your AppleTalk connection:

If you need to make this change, click Quit, make the change,
and restart TroubleShooter.

When you click OK, TroubleShooter loads and automatically runs
the following three default tests.

Memory buffer test

Writes to and reads from the packet buffer RAM to verify
its addressability and operation.

Network interface controller (NIC) test

Writes to and reads from the controller register to verify
its operation.

Ping-Pong test

Transmits and receives special packets to verify commu-
nication with other Macintoshes on the network.

If the Ping-Pong test fails, check your connectors and
cables. (It’s also possible that there’s no other Macintosh
on the network with which to communicate.)

TroubleShooter opens the TroubleShooter dialog box (see
below) and displays the results of the above three default tests.
