D-Link DFE-550FX Adapter Network Operation Test 4. If you have access to a second station on the LAN, then skip ahead to Step 5. If you do not have access to a second station on the LAN, then the network test will be limited to blind transmission of test packets (none of which will be returned to the primary station). Follow the cues at the foot of the screen to select and run the Network Diagnostic program. Observe the Packets Sent line to see a steadily and rapidly increasing packet count. This will indicate normal transmission onto the LAN, and will be the end of your Verification/Diagnostic run. Skip the remaining steps shown below. 5.

Return to the primary station and follow the cues at the foot of the screen to select and run the Network Diagnostic program. Observe the Packets Sent and Packets Received lines to see that they track together (always showing equal count numbers), which verifies normal network operation.

In the event of any failure in diagnostic tests, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this guide. 8
