Running diagnostics on Compaq  10 and 10/100 
Controllers
============================================================

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

It's a good idea to run diagnostics every time you install
a controller.

You can also use diagnostics to isolate problems during
troubleshooting.


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

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

1  Restart your computer without loading any Compaq
   10/100 Controller network drivers.
   
   NOTE: If network drivers are installed, you must first
   unload or disable them or reboot your computer without
   loading them.

2  Disconnect the network cable from the controller under 
   test. (Leaving the cable connected will cause the test to
   fail.)

3  Insert the Compaq Configuration and Drivers disk into a
   drive, switch to that drive, and at the DOS prompt, type
   SETUP <Enter>

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

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

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


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

1  Go to a computer on the same network segment with a 
   Compaq 10 Controller installed.
   
   NOTE: if you disconnected the network cable from a
   10/100 Controller in the preceding test, reconnect
   it now.

2  If this computer already has Compaq controller
   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 controller that's
   installed in the computer (such as SETUP or
   CPQSET).

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

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


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

If you have not already installed new drivers from the Compaq
Configuration and Drivers disk:

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

2  Click the Add Adapter button.

3  Don't select a Compaq controller 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 Compaq 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 CPQSET program launches.

5  Click the Test button.
   
   If you've just added the controller, the network driver
   won't be active and the diagnostics will test the controller
   and its connection to the network.
   
   If you're testing a controller 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  For NT 3.51: Double-click the Compaq CPQSET icon in the
      Control Panel.
      
      For NT 4.0: Open the Network Control panel, go to the
      Adapters tab, select a controller and click Properties.
   
   2  Click Test on the window that appears.
      
      If you have more than one controller, first select the
      controller from the displayed list.
      
      If you've just added the controller, the network driver
      won't be active and the diagnostics will test the
      controller and its connection to the network.
      
      If you're testing a controller 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 CPQSET to test the controller:

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

2  Click Test on the window that appears.
   
   If you have more than one controller, first select the
   controller from the displayed list.
   
   When using CPQSET, you have two testing options:
   
   A. Test the controller and driver together:
   
      The controller 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 controller hardware:
   
      The controller 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. CPQSET
          reloads the driver.
   
      d.  Restart the computer. You must restart the computer
          before accessing any network drives.


Installing the CPQSET controller diagnostic and configuration
software
------------------------------------------------------------

Compaq's CPQSET software allows you to test the controller in
the Windows 95 environment.  It can also resolve some
Windows 95 issues that may result from changing or updating
controller 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 CPQSET.INF icon in the root directory of the
   diskette and click the right mouse button. From the menu
   that appears, click Install.

3  When the CPQSET software has been copied to your
   computer, go to the control panel and click on the CPQSET
   icon. CPQSET examines your computer and displays the
   CPQSET Window. This window shows the controller's I/O
   address, interrupt and Ethernet address.
   
   NOTE: The controller'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. CPQSET will
   inform you of any problems with the current setting.

4  Click Test to begin diagnostics.
