The diagnostic commands are invoked by selecting one of the buttons displayed in
figure 3.5. If a diagnostic command results in the “Image file not found” error
message, close the Diagnostics dialog box by selecting the OK button, then click
the Apply button in the PCC-10 control panel. This re-initializes the PCC-10 card
and allows use of the commands.

Comm
The Comm button can be used to verify communications between the PCC-10 card
and another node on the network. Choosing this command will cause the control
panel to prompt with the following :
This procedure will configure the Network Interface for a zero-length
domain if it is not already configured. Do you want to proceed?
Choosing OK will cause the control panel to first check the network interface for
the configured state. If it is already in the configured state, it will not be modified
further. If it is not in the configured state it will install a zero-length domain on
index 0, with a subnet of 1 and a node ID of 126, and then change its state to
configured.
