ND4300 PCI Ethernet Adapter Configuration and Diagnostics file
--------------------------------------------------------------

Your ND4300 PCI Ethernet Adapter is automatically configured when you power-up 
your computer. In certain computers, however, you must modify your BIOS by 
entering your CMOS SETUP utility.

To view the configuration parameters assigned by the BIOS, insert the software
diskette into your drive and execute the utility software,A:\NDCDIAG. A screen menu
will guide you to configure the ND4300 PCI Ethernet Adapter to fit your 
computer system's environment.

The following is the configuration parameters.

   I/O Base      :     Assigned by BIOS to a free I/O address block

   Interrupt     :     INTA; assigned by the BIOS to a free IRQ
                       (interrupt) number

   Media Type    :     Auto sence when you execute NDCDIAG.EXE

   BOOT ROM      :     ENABLE, DISABLE

   Full Duplex   :   Half Duplex and Full Duplex

   Note: You can use this utility to configure two or more ND4300 PCI Ethernet
         Adapters which are installed on the same computer system.



Before you install the drivers and connect the ND4300 PCI Ethernet Adapter to 
the network, make sure to run the diagnostics to assure the proper function of 
the adapter. The diagnostics includes two groups of test :

   1. On Board Diagnostic
      This test is a series of tests designed to check Network Controller
      Registers, on-board RAM, Internal Lookback and Interrupt Generation.

   2. ON Network Diagnostic
      This test verifies that the network cable is connected, so that the
      adapter can transmit and receive data.

      The test requires two computers. One computer, configured as the Master,
      generates and sends test messages. The other computer, configured as the
      Slave, receives messages and transmits them back to the Master. Results
      can be viewed on both the Master and Slave computers. A screen menu
      provides you with the instructions to conduct this test.

      Note: Run the On Board Diagnostic before running the On Network Diagnostic
            to ensure that adapter's basic functions are working properly.
