The Basic Adapter Test is used to
verify that the major functions of the
adapter operate properly
If any of the tests fail, the program
notifies you of the error and suggests
actions to take to solve the problem.
Tests are performed on the following:
-I/O Port Accessibility
-LAN Address ROM
-On-board RAM
-Network Controller Registers
-On-Board ROM (if installed)
-Intemal Loopback
-Interrupt Generation
The test has failed if:
1. An en-or message displays at the bot-
tom of the screen in a red box.
2. The test hangs up at a certain blink-
ing line and never completes. The
blinking line is the test that failed.
If either of these two conditions occur:
Read the eaor message or blinking line
and write it down. Cycle power Use
the error message or blinking line to
find the problem. Common problems in-
clude:
•
Not temiinating an Ethernet net-
work
•
Hardware or software conflicts
with IRQ, Base 1/0, or RAM Ad-
dress.
If the board fails, recheck the board set-
tings, try a different BNC "T" connector
and temninator, or remove other boards
from the PC.
