Setup Program for
		   Ethernet Adapter Series

==============================================================

The SETUP.EXE program is used for adapter configuration and
diagnostics of the Software Configurable NE2000 Compatible
Ethernet adapters.

This subdirectory includes the following files:

README.TXT	      This File
SETUP.EXE	      Hardware configuration and diagnostics
		      program

The SETUP program is used to set the adapter's configuration
and test its installation before installing the network software
driver.

Starting the Program
====================

1. From DOS, type the following indicating the directory
   or drive location of the SETUP.EXE program. Then press
   <Enter>:

   A:SETUP	<Enter>

2. Identify your adapter. Use the up/down arrow keys to
   highlight the appropriate adapter name.

Note
----
If there is more than one adapter installed inside
the host PC, but only one is displayed in the selection
list, then I/O base conflict may exist. Reset the I/O
base setting and restart your PC by pressing the reset button.

Auto Configuration
==================
1. Use the up/down arrow keys to select the
   "AUTO CONFIGURATION" option and press <Enter> to
    continue.

2. This function automatically configures the adapter,
   then displays its configuration to include entries
   for the following items:

   *  Adapter Mode
   *  Base I/O Address
   *  IRQ Interrupt
   *  Transceiver  (AUTO, AUI)
   *  Boot ROM Base Address

3. Press any key to return to the main menu.

Note
----
If you want to select your own adapter configuration, go
back to the main menu. Highlight the "SET CONFIGURATION"
option using the up/down arrow keys and press <Enter>.
Follow screen instructions to choose an option and choose
an appropriate value.

Running the AUTO CONFIGURE option after setting
user selected values will automatically detect and
reset any conflicting IRQ setting to 15.


Set Configuration
=================

1. Choose "SET CONFIGURATION" by highlighting the option using
   the up/down arrow keys. Then press <Enter> to confirm
   your choice.

2. It will display the adapter's configuration showing
   values for the following items:

   * Adapter Mode
   * Base I/O Address
   * IRQ Interrupt
   * Transceiver
   * Boot ROM Base Address

3. Move to the option that you wish to change using the
   up/down arrow keys.

4. Press <Enter> to list all available values for the
   option selected. Use the up/down arrow keys to
   highlight the desired option. Then press <Enter>
   to select a new value.

5. Press <F3> to save changes, or press ESC to
   exit and abort the operation.

Note
----
Be careful of device setting conflicts, especially the
I/O base address. If an invalid selection is made,
the program will show pop up message to warn you.

Test the Adapter
================

1. Choose the "TEST THE ADAPTER," option and press <Enter>.
2. The program will run the following tests:

	   *	 Configuration test
	   *	 I/O test
	   *	 ID test
	   *	 RAM test
	   *	 Internal loopback test
	   *	 External loopback test
	   *	 Interrupt test
	   *	 Network function test

3. A Testing Report window will appear on the screen. Test
   results are indicated by "PASS" or "FAIL" remarks.

   When the test results to a "FAIL" remark your screen will
   change to give you a description of the malfunction and
   at the same describe possible solutions to the problem.

4. Three useful function keys you can use include the following:

	<F1>	Resets all counters reporting the
		real network status

	<F2>	Toggles the network function test ON or OFF.

	<ESC>	Terminates and exit this diagnostic process
		to return to the main menu

5. Enabling the Network Function Test will causes the TX and
   RX counters to accumulate values. Time and the Performance
   are also indicated on the Test Screen.

   Onscreen, you will see the number of transmit (Tx Count) and
   receive packets (Rx count) over a transmission period (Time).
   In addition, the program automatically calculates the adapter's
   performance in bytes per second (BPS).

6. The test runs on a single PC. However, for better results,
   the best environment is to have two or more PCs on
   the network running the test simultaneously.

   Running diagnostics on a single PC only allows monitoring
   of the adapter and the corresponding cabling system. However,
   this does not check the network condition.


Command Mode Usage
==================

The SETUP Program is also designed to be executed from
the command line. The program will try to save the parameter
specified in the command line into the adapter being diagnosed.

The following lists the command line parameters available:

/C:d		Identifies adapter to be diagnosed.
		Note that the default value for d is 1
		to refer to the 1st adapter in the
		choice list

/M:cccccc	The new mode of the adapter
		NE2000

/I:xxxx 	The new base I/O address.
		Example: 200, 220, ......

/Q:d		The new IRQ number,
		2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 15

/TEST		Runs the TEST THE ADAPTER option

/?		Displays this help screen.


Note
----
Typing /C:2 selects the adapter listed second in the choice list,
with second high I/O Base address (i.e., listed in ascending
order).
