the device before the test is started. The test requires:
1. An IEEE 1394-compatible device
2. An IEEE 1394 transmission line
To perform the test:
1. Copy the following files from the BTR20.RAR file on the diagnostics disk to a bootable
diskette
? 1394M.bat
? TI.exe
? TI1394.exe
2. Insert the disk, then boot the computer
3. Make sure the machines are firmly connected by the IEEE 1394 transmission line
4. Execute 1394M.bat on the computer
5. Select the IEEE 1394 transmission test for the test device
6. Start data transmission and complete check
