EMDIAG Diagnostics
----------------------------------------
The eMASTER+ Diagnostics Program runs with MS-DOS version
3.3 or later. Before running the eMASTER+ Diagnostics
Program, make sure no network drivers are running in the
system. EMDIAG will not run reliably from within a Windows
DOS box.
From the Main Menu of EMDIAG, you can make one of the
following selections:
Configuration Status Reports the resources in use by
the eMASTER+ PCI adapter. This
option is useful for determining
if your adapter is recognized
your system. If the adapter is
not found in your system, the
following messages might appear,
and can be resolved as follows:
Diagnostics Contains options for Local,
Remote and Echo Server. These
options provide the ability to
run both local and remote
diagnostics, and to set up the
eMASTER+ adapter for use as an
Echo Server. For a full
explanation of this option, see
your eMASTER+ manual.
PCI Device Provides resource and
Information configuration information about
all of the PCI devices installed
in your system.
Readme Viewer Allows you to view the eMASTER+
README.TXT file located in the
root of the eMASTER+ setup
diskette.
Technical Support Provides contact information for
Cogent Technical Support.
Exit Allows you to return to the DOS
prompt.
EMDIAG Startup Options
----------------------------------------
EMDIAG includes some startup parameters to help you get
the most out of this utility. These startup parameters are
described below, and can be viewed on-screen by typing
"EMDIAG /?" followed by an <ENTER>.
/t:<value> Runs the `transmit' test in local
and remote diagnostics <value> *
thousand times.
/v:<value> For the EM110 TX and EM110 TX Combo
adapters, selects the adapter speed,
where <value> should be set to `10'
for 10 Mbps and `100' for 100 Mbps.
/c:<value> Runs diagnostics on a specific PCI
device, where the eMASTER+ device to
be diagnosed is determined by the
number entered in place of <value>.
To determine the PCI device number
for specific eMASTER+ adapters,
first run EMDIAG with no additional
parameters, and select `PCI Device
Information.' The first column under
the `PCI Device Information' display
contains the PCI Device ID for each
of the installed PCI devices.
/x:<string> Allows the selection of a particular
transceiver to be diagnosed on the
eMASTER+ adapter. The possible
values for <string> are `thin' and
`utp.'
/BNC or /THIN Configures EMDIAG to test a Combo
adapter's BNC port.
