Running Other Diagnostic Tests
In addition to the three default tests, TroubleShooter offers the Loopback
Test and the Bandwidth Utilization Test to validate operation of the network

The result of the Loopback Test is displayed in the Trouble-
Shooter dialog box.
Running the Bandwidth Utilization Test

the network.

“Running TroubleShooter Default Diagnostics” on page 4-4.

Bandwidth Utilization checkbox to select the test.
