CONFIGURATION

AND DIAGNOSTICS

The driver diskette contains the Setup program (SETUP.EXE).
This program allows you to:

• View the current configuration of the card

• Set up a new configuration

• Run diagnostics
These tasks are described in this chapter.

C-1

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS

Running the Setup Program

Insert the driver diskette in your floppy drive. The SETUP pro­gram is in the \SETUP subdirectory on this diskette. Change to
the appropriate subdirectory location, type the following com­mand and press <Enter>:

A:\SETUP>SETUP

This will initiate the menu-driven SETUP program and display
the Main Menu as shown below:

Figure C-1. Main Menu

C-2

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS

Viewing the Current Configuration

Select this option to view the current settings for your network
card, as shown below.

If you need to modify the current configuration, return to the
Main Menu and select “Set Up New Configuration.”

Figure C-2. Current Configuration Display

C-3

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS

Setting Up a New Configuration

If your computer complies with PCI BIOS standards, the system
will automatically allocate the necessary I/O, IRQ and boot ROM
address resources to the card. Although the SETUP program
will not allow you to change the resources which are allocated
by the PCI BIOS, it will allow you to change the following
settings to suit your requirements:

• Media type

• Full-duplex mode

• Boot ROM size

Figure C-3. Set Up New Configuration Menu

C-4

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS

Media T ype

The transceiver setting should agree with the network cabling
type. The program provides two choices:

• Auto detection

• 10BASE5 (AUI)
With the first choice, the card automatically detects the connec-

tor in use — either RJ-45 or BNC. The second choice enables
the AUI connector.

Full-Duplex Mode

Enable full-duplex mode only if the card is connected directly to
a switch that also supports this mode. Do not enable this mode
if the card is connected to a hub.

Boot ROM Size

Each card provides an empty socket for an optional 16 KB boot
ROM. Once installed and enabled, the boot ROM permits the
host PC to download the disk operating system (DOS) or
network drivers over the network. The boot ROM function is
disabled by default. After you install a boot ROM, be sure to
enable this function.

C-5

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS

Running the Diagnostics

To test the card's components and installation, the SETUP pro­gram runs three different tests on the card and corresponding
cabling system as listed below:

• EEPROM Test

• Diagnostics on Board

• Diagnostics on Network
Note: Run the diagnostics before the network driver is loaded

into the system. Otherwise, your system may hang.

EEPROM Test

Read tests are performed on each register in the EEPROM.

Testing the Card

This test monitors the card and corresponding cabling system.
However, it does not test the network's condition.

Figure C-4. On-Board Diagnostics Display

C-6

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS

This test actually performs five separate tests:

• Configuration Test — checks the initial status of the Ethernet
controller

• I/O Registers Test — checks I/O accessibility

• Internal Loop Back Test — checks the card's controller

• External Loop Back Test — checks the network link

• RAM Test — checks the condition of the on-board RAM

The screen displays the PASSED or FAILED count for each test.
If a test fails, press the spacebar to display the reason for the
failure and possible solutions.

Testing the Network Connection

This test verifies the card’s ability to communicate with other
devices on the network. At the start of the test, set up one com­puter as a Responder and at least one as an Initiator. The
Responder displays the status of communications with each
Initiator on the network, while the Initiator displays the current
Responder and the status of corresponding communications.

Note: Should any of these tests fail, reboot your computer and

run the diagnostics again to see if the problem persists.

C-7

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS

Configuring the Card in
Older PCI Computers

The card is configured using the host PCI computer's BIOS
setup program. This is done by changing the computer's BIOS
settings. The procedure to do this and the terminology used
depend on the the BIOS you are using.

For example, if your computer uses the Phoenix BIOS, there is a
Device Select field where you are to input the number of the
PCI slot where the adapter is installed (e.g., Slot 3 Device).
Select “Enabled” for the Enable Device field and assign an IRQ
number (the card's IRQ setting is mapped to the BIOS IRQ
setup of the host PCI computer).

Set the Trigger/Routing field to select the Trigger method by
which the IRQ is assigned or routed to the PCI slot. There are
three types of settings to choose from:

• Level/Auto — This is usually the default. Choosing this

option leaves the assigned IRQ free for other uses if the
installed card does not use it.

• Level/Forced — If you are not able get the PCI card to

work properly, choose this option. This will assign the spec­ified IRQ permanently to the card.

• Edge/Auto — Some PCI cards support this option. Do not

use it with SMC’s EZ Card 10 PCI models.

Notes: These PCI cards can only function with the EMM386.exe

memory manager program, version 4.49 or later. You
can verify the version number by entering “EMM386” at
the DOS prompt.

Do not specify the HIGHSCAN option with the
EMM386.exe statement in your config.sys file or your
system will hang.

If you run MEMMAKER and select Custom Setup, do not
specify “Aggressively scan upper memory,” or it will

C-8

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS

automatically insert the HIGHSCAN flag into the
EMM386 command line. This parameter cannot be
manually removed once it is installed; doing so will
cause the extended memory manager to malfunction.

For problems with your BIOS setup, refer to your PC’s user
documentation
