Communications Test Option
This test sends raw packets between two Allied Telesyn network adapter
cards over the network to check the ability of the network adapter cards to
communicate effectively with each other.
Please note the following before you run this test:
ˆ This test requires that you run AT-Diag utility on two systems. One
system will be sending the packets and the other will be receiving.
ˆ This test is appropriate for both twisted pair and fiber optic ports.
ˆ The port can be running in either full or half duplex mode.
ˆ When testing a dual port adapter, connect only one port to the network.
The utility runs the test on whichever port is connected to the network.
To run the test, perform the following procedure:
1. Start the AT-Diag utility on two network systems.
2. At each system, select Communications Test from the AT-Diag main
menu.
The Communications Test window is shown in Figure 112.

3. On the system that you want to send packets, press the F5 key to start
the test.
The Packets Sent field on the system sending the packets will
increment as the adapter sends the raw packets. The Receive Count
field on the other system running the AT-Diag utility should increment
as it receives the packets.
