passing test. Within the MMconfig utility, the –t echo command can be used to initiate this
read request traffic on the host. If the Intel
®
RMM successfully returns an echo, the USB
interface is working correctly.
The self test for the Intel
®
RMM’s LAN interface involves:
• Checking to see if the LAN interface can ping the internal loop back IP address of
127.0.0.1. If that address does not respond to the ping, the self test fails and returns
an error code of 4.
• Checking to see if the Ethernet controller exists. Otherwise the self test fails and
returns an error code of 3.
• Checking to see if the LAN interface can ping the external IP address assigned to the
Intel
®
RMM’s NIC. If that address does not respond to the ping, the self test fails
and returns an error code of 2.
• Checking to see that the proper Ethernet interface firmware is running. If not, the
self test fails and returns an error code of 1.
The second FML (NIC interface) is not tested because it is not used by the Intel
®
RMM.
The serial interface is not tested because there is no way to force the system to output data
to the serial port.
