2) The diagnosis process must be run to verify the correctness
of the selected configuration. It provides the following
tests for the adapter :
* Configuration test
* I/O test
* ID test
* RAM test
* Internal loopback test
* External loopback test
* Interrupt test
* Network function test
3) This test screen will be presented with a window of Testing
Report to indicate the result of each diagnosis. The test
results will be indicated by a 'PASS' or 'FAIL' remark.
When any of a diagnosis test results to a 'FAIL' remark, your
screen will change to give you a description of the malfunction
and at the same time also give you some advices to solve that
problem.
4) There are three functional keys which could be used during
execute the diagnostic process, they are

<F2> To toggle the network function test ON or OFF.
It is a toggle switch makes the network function
test to be in reversed way.
<ESC> To terminate and exit this diagnostic process
to return to the MAIN MENU.
The real network status report on this diagnostic program
including TX count, RX count. The Time that is
accumulated by this program and the Performance which is
calculated by this program are also shown on the Test Screen.
After you press the <F2> key once, the network function test now
is entering into the 'ON' condition, that is, TX count is going
to increase quickly (single station). And if there is more than
one station are running diagnose with network function test 'ON'
on your network system (multiple stations), then RX count is also
increasing quickly to reflect the real network traffic.
5) To perform the diagnose, at least two workstations equipped with
any of the ACC-10 adapters are necessary. The diagnose program
must be executed in both stations one after the other.

The following lists the command line parameters available:
/C:d the adapter to be diagnosed.( Note )
the default value is adapter 1.
/M:cccccc the new mode of the adapter.
NE2000.
/I:xxxx the new base I/O address.
example: 280, 300, ......
/Q:d the new IRQ number.
2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 15.
/TEST run the diagnosis test.
/? displays this help screen.
