NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet Card Configuration and Diagnostics file V1.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Your PCI Fast Ethernet Card 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, NDCDIAG. A screen
menu will guide you to configure the PCI Fast Ethernet Card to fit your computer
system's environment.

The following is the configuration parameters.

   BOOT ROM :     DISABLE, ENABLE
   Duplex Type:   Half, Full

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

Before you install the drivers and connect the PCI Fast Ethernet Card 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. Card Initialization and Test
      This test is a series of tests designed to check Network Controller
      Registers, on-board RAM, Internal Lookback and Interrupt Generation.

   2. Advanced Network Test
      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 Card Initialization and test before running the Advanced
            Network Test to ensure that adapter's basic functions are working
            properly.
