Introduction

Plug and Play is a design philosophy based on a set of
open specifications for PC architecture. The ultimate
goal of Plug and Play is to design enough intelligence
into the PC itself to handle installation and
configuration tasks without user intervention.

A Plug and Play system has a number of unique
characteristics. First, any installation is simple and
fail-safe. Installation of common hardware devices is
automatic: plug in the device, turn on the system, and
it works. With a Plug and Play system, the user can
insert and remove devices, or connect to or disconnect
from a docking station or network, without restarting
the system or fiddling with configuration parameters.

The system determines the optimal configuration, and
applications automatically adjust to take full
advantage of the new configuration. Users do not
need to modify expansion card jumper settings, or
even modify operating system configuration files. The
benefits to both users and the computer industry are
substantial, as ease-of-use for PCs is enhanced and
support costs are substantially lowered.

Accton’s Plug and Play MultiPacket Accelerator
Adapters are 16-bit network interface cards that
support industry standard Plug and Play
specifications. By incorporating a single-chip
Ethernet controller that features our MultiPacket
Accelerator
both hardware and software fine-tuning algorithms to
deliver high performance operation. The MPX
technology accelerates the following tasks:

Troubleshooting A-1

Refer to the Product Support Services section of this
manual for contact information.

The following sections offer some helpful suggestions
and tips to go about resolving some of the more
common problems you may encounter during the
installation process.

"Clean Boot"

Many installation problems are caused by
incompatible device drivers and resource conflicts.
The best way to troubleshoot your installation is to
boot your computer without the AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS files.

Reboot your computer using the BIOS Option,
such as pressing <F5>, which allows you to
bypass all startup files. Otherwise, create a
bootable system diskette (described on the first
page) or rename AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS to other names and re-boot your
computer.

Symptoms

1. Unshielded twisted-pair connection results in
adapter failure; LNK (Link) LED indicator is off.

2. Running Test Adapter routine results in External
Loopback Test failure.

Possible Cause

Invalid twisted-pair link

Suggestions

1. Check the RJ-45 connection for loose cabling.

2. Check for wrong RJ-45 pin assignments.

3. Reboot the system and start the Test Adapter
routine again.

A-2 Troubleshooting

Symptom

Adapter failure; unable to log into the network.

Possible Causes

1. Bad cable connection.

2. Adapter not properly installed in computer slot.

3. Host PC’s slot defective.

Suggestions

1. Check cabling for loose connection or wrong pin
assignment if you're using the RJ-45 connection.

2. Check if the adapter is properly seated in the
computer’s slot; it may have been accidentally
loosened.

3. Install the adapter in another PC, or install it in
another slot. If the problem is eliminated, then the
original PC’s slot is defective. Contact your PC
vendor for assistance.

Symptom

1. Adapter fails to respond after loading driver

Possible Cause

Incorrect adapter configuration mode set

Suggestions

1. Check if your PC supports the Plug and Play
platform (PC using PnP BIOS, Configuration
Manager program or Win95 operating system).

2. If your PC does not support Plug and Play, run
1Step and set adapter configuration to Jumperless
mode.

3. Reboot your PC and run the test again.
