You can use the Diagnostic CD shipped with the RocketPort EXPRESS SMPTE to:
Confirm that the hardware is functioning.
Determine resolutions to conflicts during installation.
Perform a stress test on the ports.
For example, you may want to run the diagnostics stress test overnight to evaluate a possible problem.
You will need loopback plugs for each port that you want to test.
In the event that you cannot locate the Diagnostic CD shipped with the
product, copy the .iso file
to a temporary location and then burn the image to a CD-ROM.

An .iso file cannot be copied onto a CD but must be burned using an application
that burns the image to the CD. If you do not have an application available,
you can use this freeware application. |

To run the diagnostic, you will need at least one loopback plug. A loopback plug was shipped with
the RocketPort EXPRESS SMPTE. To build a loopback plug, see the
RocketPort EXPRESS SMPTE User Guide Rev B.
To start the diagnostic, reboot your system with the Diagnostics CD in the drive and follow the instructions in the diagnostic.

If the Diagnostic CD does not boot the PC,
you may need to change your BIOS settings so that the PC can boot from a CD drive. |
