This test verifies that the adapter’s node ID, channel identifier, 
and supported function identifiers such as data rate, shared 
RAM, and transmit buffer size are correct. 

This test verifies that the shared RAM base address is aligned 
on the proper address boundary according to the shared 
RAM page size setting and verifies that its domain does not 
conflict with that of the adapter ROM. 

This test verifies that the PC can correctly access the total 
64 KB of available shared RAM.

This test verifies the adapter’s timer operation by comparing 
the adapter timing to the PC’s timing.

This test prepares the adapter for an adapter ring operation 
test. This test verifies the adapter’s ability to transmit data 
over the network. This test requires the adapter to be 
connected to an STP or a UTP media cable with a DAU, MAU, 
or CAU at the other end.

This test assesses communication on the ring. The adapter 
must be attached to the ring in order for this test to be 
successful. The adapter also must be set to the correct ring 
speed.

This test verifies the adapter’s ability to close the adapter and 
terminate the Ring Operations Test. The adapter must have 
been previously opened.
