           Information about ICL EtherTeam 16i Diagnostic Program.


The ETH16I.EXE Diagnostics Program can be used to test the EtherTeam 16i
adapters. The program includes parameter settings to configure the test
environment. In the following sections the most important parameters are
explained.


ETH16I

This is the default start. it starts the test and assumes that the adapter 
is connected to the network with any of the ports on an COMBO adapter or 
the TP port on an TP adapter.


ETH16I /NONET

This parameter runs the test in internal loop back mode. This means that no
network connection or test plugs are needed.


ETH16I /BNC
ETH16I /DIX
ETH16I /TP

These parameters runs the test selecting the specified port. When running  
the test in this mode the LAN must be connected to the selected port.


ETH16I /ECHO300 /IO2A0 /REC

These parameters runs the test in echo mode in one machine with two 
EtherTeam 16i adapters. One adapter with IO address 300 is selected as the 
echo adapter and the other adapter with IO address 2A0 is selected as 
adapter to be tested. The adapter to be tested transmits packets trough 
the connected LAN port to the echo adapter which echoes the packets back 
to the adapter to be tested. To run this test both adapters must be 
connected to the same LAN. Note also that this test may block other traffic 
on the LAN, so it's wise to use a dedicated LAN for this test.


ETH16i /ECHO      ( in echo PC )
ETH16i /REC       ( in test PC )

These parameters do the same as the previous echo mode test with the 
exception that the echo adapter and the adapter to be tested are installed 
into two different PC's.
