Introduction

EZStart is a multi-function Windows-like utility provided on the
SuperDisk. EZStart lets you install network drivers, test the
EtherPower II 10/100 network card, and display driver installation
instructions simply by pointing and clicking your mouse.
EZStart can perform the following tests on the network card to
verify its functionality:
K
Basic Adapter Test—verifies the operation of the network
card's basic functions. See page 4-2.
K
Two-Node Adapter Test—verifies the network card's ability to
communicate over the network with another card. At least one
other computer containing an SMC network card must be
connected to the network. If the cards are connected to a
10/100 Mbps dual-speed hub or switch, the two-node test can
be performed with a mixture of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps cards.
See page 4-2.
K
Network Card Diagnostic Utility—a Windows-based network
card diagnostic utility that provides a quick, convenient way for
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT v4.0 and v3.51 users to test
the basic functions of their EtherPower II 10/100 network card.
