Note:
Before running the setup program, make sure the adapter's driver is not loaded,
otherwise unpredictable results may arise!
The setup program can be set the on board configuration to provide diagnostic testing. It is
for testing the basic function verification, EEPROM data Access, loop back operation, and
the ability to communicate over the network with another adapter.
To access this program, insert the Driver Diskette into the floppy disk drive and then type the
following at the DOS prompt:
A:\REST8139.EXE <ENTER>
1. View Current Configuration
This allows you to find the PCI Fast Ethernet adapter current configuration in your
system.
2. Set Up New Configuration
Select New Set Up Configuration option from the main menu
The option settings can be changed, the table shown as below:
Option
Default Setting
Full-duplex
Disabled
Auto Selection
Flow Control
TX Enable, RX Enable
Note:
Before setting the adapter for full duplex, make sure the hub switch is also set to full
duplex. Before you activate the switching hub to server connection, make sure the
hub switch and adapter are configured for full duplex.
3. Run Diagnostics
Running diagnostic tests perform basic function verification for on board LAN adapters.
The basic Diagnostic tests include:
•
EEPROM Test: EEPROM data read/write test
•
Diagnostics On Board: Performs on board basic function verification
•
Diagnostics On Network: To run this test on the network, you will need another
computer set up as a Responder to receive packets from the adapter being tested and echo
them back to the adapter. This checks the adapter's ability for communication over the
The ENDAT-3201M Embedded CPU Board
Other Available Settings
Enable – Forces to full duplex operation
TX Disable, RX Disable
