D-Link DFE-550FX Adapter
Software Installation
On account of the great variety of network environments in which
the DFE-550FX may be used, the instructions for software
installation are given as README files on the DFE-550FX
Software Diskette. Review the root directory and locate the
subdirectory containing the appropriate software for use with your
network operating system. Access the README file for overview
information. For full installation details, see the README file and
the referenced instruction files in the sub-directory.
Verification/Diagnostic Program
This test program verifies configuration of the DFE-550FX as set by
the installation procedure, and assists with isolation of any faults in
operation. Verification and testing procedures are optional, and will
only be useful in the unusual event that there is a fault, such as an
interrupt number conflict among your computer expansion cards. If
your installation provides normal operation, you might choose to
skip these procedures.
The Verification/Diagnostic Program provides two levels of testing:
adapter function testing and network operation testing. Adapter
testing includes a variety of diagnostic procedures.
Adapter testing does not require substitution of a loopback cable.
All procedures of the Adapter test may be carried out with the
network cable connection in place.
For the network operation test, the cable connecting your station
with its supporting hub must be in place. Network testing involves
the broadcast transmission of test packets from the primary station.
The test cannot be fully implemented unless a second station on the
LAN is available to the network operation test, in order to return
the test packets to the primary station.
To run the Verification/Diagnostic Program, proceed with these
steps:
