NETWORK CARD TESTS
This test of the network interface controller displays a box in the upper left corner showing the Node Address of the network card and separate pass/fail results of testing the NIC registers and EEPROM.
The test supports a variety of NIC chipsets, including Intel, National Semiconductor, Realtek and some SMC and 3COM cards.
In addition to the tests listed above, Intel, 3COM and national cards also have an internal self-test which is activated and reported by Micro-Scope.
Each of the failure codes listed below will be the result of a hardware failure on the NIC card.
1 = Register Test Failure – onboard command registers are malfunctioning.
2 = EEPROM Test Failure – EEPROM chip not responding.
3 = SRAM Test Failure – Malfunction of onboard RAM.
4 = FIFO Test Failure – FIFO stack not responding with correct data.
5 = Rcv RAM Buffer Failure – Malfunction of the buffer for incoming data.
6 = Xmt RAM Buffer Failure – Malfunction of the buffer holding data for output.
7 = NIC Node Address Failure – The card did not respond with the correct MAC address.
8 = I/O Address Failure – An incorrect address or the I/O ports are not functioning.
9 = Interrupt Failure – The card did not respond with the expected interrupt.
10 = Not From a Windows DOS Box – The test was attempting to run the Windows MS-DOS prompt.
11 = No Supported NIC Adapter – The installed network card is not a type recognized by Micro-Scope.
13 = Port Self-Test Failure – The card did not pass an internal diagnostic of its I/O ports.
14 = Internal Diagnostic Failure – The card did not pass some part of its own internal diagnostic.
15 = Dump Data Bytes Failure – The card did not comply with a command to dump its buffer contents.
16 = Configure Command Failure – Did not respond to Configure command.
17 = Transmit Data Failure – Unable to output data to the network cable.
18 = Receive Data Failure – Unable to latch incoming data.
Recent Review:
 "In
the service business, time is money. The Micro2000 Universal
Diagnostic Toolkit is worth its weight in gold for any service
company. The cost of the product is quickly recovered because
of faster turn around time when fixing problem systems. The
product also helps control business costs simply because technicians
are more accurately diagnosing what parts they require for
system repairs." Compunotes
