Running diagnostics on Intel 82557-based adapters:
   EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100B - TX
   EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100B - T4
   EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10+ PCI
=========================================================================

Intel's diagnostic software lets you test the adapter to see if there are
any problems with the adapter hardware, the cabling, or the network.

It's a good idea to run diagnostics every time you install an adapter.
You can also use diagnostics to isolate problems during troubleshooting.


DOS and Windows* 3.1 users
==========================

Note: If you want to test the adapter with a responder on the network,
      skip to the procedure after step 5.

1  Restart your computer without loading any EtherExpress PRO/100B or
   PRO/10+ PCI adapter network drivers.
   
   Note: If network drivers are installed, you must first unload or
         disable them or reboot your computer without loading them.

2  On the PRO/100B TX adapter only, disconnect the network cable from the
   adapter under test. (Leaving the cable connected will cause the test
   to fail).

3  Insert the Intel Configuration and Driver diskette into a drive,
   switch to that drive, and at the DOS prompt, type
      
      SETUP <Enter>

4  From the Board Menu, select the adapter you want to test. (If you have
   only one adapter installed, the Board Menu doesn't appear.)

5  From the Main Menu, select Test Adapter. Then select Test Adapter
   again. The program runs a series of tests that make sure the adapter
   is functioning properly.

6  Repeat steps 2 - 5 for each adapter installed in the computer.


To test the adapter with a responder on the network
---------------------------------------------------

1  Go to a computer on the same network segment with an EtherExpress 16
   ISA, Flash32, EtherExpress PRO, EtherExpress PRO/100 PCI, PRO/100B
   PCI, or PRO/10+ PCI adapter installed.

   Note: if you disconnected the network cable from a PRO/100B TX PCI
   adapter in the preceding test, reconnect it now.

2  If this computer already has EtherExpress adapter network drivers
   installed, restart the computer without loading them. For example, if
   the drivers are loaded from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add REM in front of
   each line that loads a driver. Or, boot from a DOS disk.

3  Run the diagnostics program for the adapter that's installed in the
   computer (such as SoftSet, SETUP, or PROSet).

4  From the Main menu, select the command for testing the adapter, then
   select Set up as diagnostics responder.

5  Return to the computer you want to test. Run SETUP, choose Test
   adapter, and then choose Continuous Network test.


Windows NT* users
=================

If you have not already installed new drivers from the Intel
Configuration and Drivers Disk:

1  Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel.

2  Click the Add Adapter button.

3  Don't select an Intel adapter from the list.

   For NT 3.51, scroll to the end of the list (NT 3.51) and select:
   
   <Other> Requires disk from manufacturer.
   
   For NT 4.0, click Have Disk.

4  Insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk into your floppy drive
   and click OK. In NT 4.0 click Close to complete process.

   The drivers are copied and the PROSet program launches.

5  Click the Test button.

   If you've just added the adapter, the network driver won't be active
   and the diagnostics will test the adapter and its connection to the
   network.

   If you're testing an adapter that's already been installed, the
   network driver will probably be active and the diagnostics will test
   the driver. This diagnostic tracks the driver's actual network
   activity.

If you have already installed the drivers:

1    Double-click the Intel PROSet icon in the Control Panel.

2    Click Test on the window that appears.

     If you have more than one adapter, first select the adapter from the
displayed list.

   If you've just added the adapter, the network driver won't be active
   and the diagnostics will test the adapter and its connection to the
   network.

   If you're testing an adapter that's already been installed, the
   network driver will probably be active and the diagnostics will test
   the driver. This diagnostic tracks the driver's actual network
   activity.




Windows 95 users
================

Use PROSet to test the adapter:

1  Double-click the Intel PROSet icon in the Control Panel (if the icon
   is not present, you may need to install PROSet; see installation
   instructions below).

2    Click Test on the window that appears.

     If you have more than one adapter, first select the adapter from the
displayed list.

When using the Intel PRO adapter setup program, you have two testing
options:

A. Test the adapter and driver together:

The adapter and driver test doesn't require you to unload the NDIS
driver.

     a.   Click Test NDIS.

     b.   When the test is complete, click OK to exit.

B.   Test the adapter hardware:

The adapter hardware test unloads the NDIS driver.

     a.   Click Unload NDIS.

     b.   After the NDIS driver unloads, click OK to continue.

     c.   When the test is complete, click OK to exit. PROSet reloads

          the driver.

     d.   Restart the computer. You must restart the computer before

          accessing any network drives.


Installing the PROSet adapter diagnostic and configuration software
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Intel's PROSet software allows you to test the adapter in the Windows 95
environment.  It can also resolve some Windows 95 issues that may result
from changing or updating adapter hardware.

1  From the Explorer, double click on the 3.5 floppy disk icon.  The
   Explore function can be accessed by clicking on the Windows 95 Start
   button with the right mouse button.

2  Locate the PROSet icon in the root directory of the diskette and click
   the right mouse button. From the menu that appears, click Install.

3  When the PROSet software has been copied to your computer, go to the
   control panel and click on the PROSet icon. PROSet examines your
   computer and displays the PROSet Window. This window shows the
   adapter's I/O address, interrupt and Ethernet address.
   
   Note: The adapter's interrupt is set by the computer's BIOS. If you
         have to change the interrupt, some computers allow you to change
         this setting, and some don't. Check your computer's
         documentation for details. PROSet will inform you of any
         problems with the current setting.

4  Click Test to begin diagnostics.
