Setup Program for the
              NIC-2002 Ethernet Adapter Series
                     Ver 1.00 11/10/93
====================================================================

The SETUP.EXE program is used for adapter configuration and
diagnostics of the Software Configurable NIC-2002 Ethernet adapters.

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 in the PC,
but only one is displayed in the selection list, then an I/O base
address conflict may exist. Reset the I/O base setting and restart
your PC.

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


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  (T.P, BNC)
   *  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 IRQ 15.


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

1. Choose "SET CONFIGURATION" by highlighting the option using
   the up/down arrow keys, then press <Enter>

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 pop up an error 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".

   If a test results in a "FAIL", a description of the malfunction
   and possible solutions will appear.

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 exits this diagnostic process
                to return to the main menu

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

   Onscreen, you will see the number of transmit (Tx Count) and
   receive (Rx count) packets 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 best results,
   run the test with two or more PCs on the network simultaneously.

   Running diagnostics on a single PC only allows monitoring
   of the adapter and the corresponding cabling system.  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:

/C:d            Identifies the adapter to be diagnosed.
                Adapter numbers start at 1 for the card 
                with the highest Base I/O Adress, 2 will
                be the card with the second highest I/O
                Address.

/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 list of parameter.
