LNE390A/B DIAGNOSTICS
A diagnostic utility is provided to aid in installation and
configuration of your Mylex LAN adapter.
For the LNE390A the program file is TESTLNE.EXE
For the LNE390B the program file is TESTLNEB.EXE
LNE390A :
Configure the board according to the users manual for a thin
ethernet ( also known as 10 Base 2 ) . Make up a thin
ethernet cable such as Belden RG-58/U (at least 15 feet or
5 meters in length) with a BNC tee at each end and a 50 ohm
terminator on one port of each tee. Attach one tee to the LAN
adapter to be tested, leaving the other end free and run the
above program . This diagnostic will check the adapter base
address and interrupt request line against the configuration,
test the dual ported RAM and run a loop-back test with the
cable and terminators attached. The test may also be conducted
by selecting the AUI or the thick ethernet port. In case of
thick ethernet port , a thick ethernet transceiver needs to be
attached to the AUI port on the card. Also the trasceiver needs
to be cabled with a thick ethernet cable and terminated at
both ends of the cable for the test. Now run the test.
LNE390B :
Configure the board using the EISA configuration for thin
ethernet ( also known as 10 Base 2 ) . Make up a thin
ethernet cable such as Belden RG-58/U (at least 15 feet or
5 meters in length) with a BNC tee at each end and a 50 ohm
terminator on one port of each tee. Attach one tee to the LAN
adapter to be tested, leaving the other end free and run the
program above. This diagnostic will check the adapter base
address and interrupt request line against the configuration,
test the dual ported RAM and run a loop-back test with the
cable and terminators attached. The test may also be conducted
by selecting the AUI or the thick ethernet port. Select
Thick Ethernet port through EISA configuration . Connect a
thick ethernet transceiver to the AUI port on the card. Also
the trasceiver needs to be cabled with a thick ethernet cable
and terminated at both ends of the cable for the test. Now run
the test . In order to test out the 10 base T port , select the
10 Base T port in EISA configuraton. Connect the 10 Base T port
to a 10 Base T concentrator and run the test.
