Running Advanced Diagnostic Tests

The Advanced Diagnostics feature gives you greater control than the Quick Test over the type of diagnostics tests that run. Through Advanced Diagnostics, you can specify which tests to run, the number of cycles to run, and what to do in the event of a test failure.

To run advanced diagnostics tests:

Click Advanced Diagnostics Test on the Diagnostics tab to view the Advanced Diagnostics dialog box.

You can run four types of tests:

PCI Loopback
Internal Loopback
External Loopback
End-to-End (ECHO)

Note

You cannot run the External Loopback test and ECHO test concurrently. If you select External Loopback the ECHO test section is disabled and vice versa.

All test results, plus the status of running tests, are time stamped and displayed in the log at bottom of the dialog box.
