3 Tests and Diagnostics
3.15 Wireless LAN Test (Atheros)
This section describes how to perform the wireless LAN transmitting-receiving test with the
test program. (Atheros 11b/g)
NOTE: Use another computer (with Atheros 11b/g) that can communicate by the
wireless LAN as a responder machine to perform this test.
When conducting this test, make sure that any wireless network device using 2.4GHz band
other than IEEE 802.11b, such as Bluetooth, is not used nearby.
In this test, the following items are tested:
* Test PC side
(1) SKU (destination code) check
(2) Mac Address check
(3) Communication test (11a mode) (only for 11a/b/g card)
(4) Communication test (11g mode)
(5) Communication test (11b mode)
This program conducts the above test items continuously and displays results for each item
during the test. However, only the last result for the whole test shall be checked. (The
message "OK" or "NG" is displayed.)
When an "NG" item is detected during the test, the message "NG" is displayed on the screen
and the test stops.
To start the Wireless LAN test program, follow the steps below:
NOTE: Before starting the wireless LAN test, make sure the Wireless
Communication Switch on the left side of the computer is turned on. (The Wireless
Communication LED lights orange.)

3.16 Bluetooth Test
To execute the Bluetooth Test, use the Test Diagnostics disk (Bluetooth). Finish the tests of
the Diagnostics disk (T&D) by selecting 99 - EXIT TO DIAGNOSTICS MENU in the
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MENU. Then in the DIAGNOSTICS MENU, select 9 - EXIT TO MS-
DOS.
Insert the Test program disk (Bluetooth) in the floppy disk drive and turn on the power.

Press the number you want to test and press Enter.
NOTE: To record the sound from the specified microphone in Subtest 01, scratch each hole
of the microphones lightly with a sharp-pointed thing to make sure the specified
microphone catches the sound. The system is capable of producing high volume
sound, so when you use the headphones be careful to set the volume low and adjust it
as necessary. Using the headphones at full volume could damage your ears.
There are one microphone on the upper side of the LCD and two microphones on the lower
side. Microphone numbers are assigned as following.

The sound is recorded automatically from microphone when the following
message appears.

After a while, the recorded sound is replayed automatically.
Subtest 02 Microphoned recording & play Mic 3&4
This subtest is executed in the same way as Microphoned recording & play
Mic 2&4.
Subtest 03 Sin wave
This subtest is executed by loading the COM file (ADSIN.COM.) The
program expands sin wave data table from 16KB to 64KB, and creates the
play data. Then it transfers the data between the DMA and the CODEC to
play the sin wave. (It sounds like a continuous beep.) By using wave
measuring devices such as an oscilloscope, the data can be measured as a sin
wave.
When the subtest is executed, the following message appears.
Press any key to continue....
When you press any key, the sin wave is expanded from 16KB to 64KB data
and is played.
The sound is heard and the test returns to the menu.
Subtest 04 LAN
This subtest checks the operation of mini-PCI I/F by the loopback in the chip.
The large "OK" is displayed if no error occurred.
Subtest 05 MODEM
For this subtest, connect the modem PCB and RJ11 connector with a harness.
This subtest contains the following tests. They are tested with the dedicated
"FAT-MODE inspection device(Product Code QE2000P01 made by Nittou
