The network utilities test writes to and reads from the Server. If the Quick Test checkbox is marked, one hundred records are written to the server drive. If unmarked, 2,000 records are written. Upon completion an information box will display the results.
If the test fails, a network card, hub or cabling is a prime suspect. If the test passes, it means that no errors were detected during the test. Run the network utilities regularly if you are experiencing what you suspect to be network errors.
Run the network utilities test
At each workstation, sign on to PROMAS and go to File, Network Utilities.
Mark the Stand Alone Test radio button and then click the Begin Workstation Test button.
To test all workstations simultaneously
At the first workstation mark the First Workstation radio button
At the other workstations (except the last) mark the Additional Workstation radio button
At the last workstation mark the Final Workstation radio button
At the first workstation, click the Begin Workstation Test button.
If the test fails, contact your network administrator.
If the test fails running all workstations, try 2 or 3 at a time to see if you can isolate the workstation that is causing the problem.
