LocalTalk interface test

The LocalTalk interface test verifies that the workstation I/O adapter card and the cable (connector box cable) that attaches to the workstation I/O adapter card are operating correctly.

The workstations that support LocalTalk protocol and the connecting cables are not tested. Because the test loads a diagnostic program into the communications I/O adapter card, you must run the test from a workstation that is not attached to the I/O adapter you are testing. To run this test, you must have more than one workstation I/O adapter on the system.

If this test completes successfully, the workstation I/O adapter card and the cable that attaches to the workstation I/O adapter card are operating correctly.

If this test fails, a display indicates the probable failure rates of the workstation I/O adapter card and the cable that attaches to the workstation I/O adapter card.
