The ACCTON PCI Network Adapters Testing Program - ACCTEST The ACCTON Hardware Driver Disk includes a network testing program called ACCTEST. Run this program to check if your adapter is properly installed. Note that 1Step can only be run under DOS. The ACCTEST program works for the following PCI LAN adapters: --------------------------------------------- Product Name Product Number --------------------------------------------- EtherDuo PCI EN1203 Fast EtherCombo-TX PCI EN1207 Fast EtherPair-TX PCI EN1207-TX Cheetah EN1207B-TX --------------------------------------------- This ACCTEST program performs the following tests on your adapter : a. Configuration Test b. I/O Test c. ID Test d. Internal Loopback Test e. External Loopback Test f. Interrupt Test g. Network Function Test 2. Test Requirements To run ACCTEST, you need at least two workstations, each with an installed PCI Fast Ethernet or any ACCTON Ethernet Adapter. You should run the program in both workstations, one after the other. If you want to test 100Mbps Fastnet operation, you must have at least two workstations each with an installed EN1207(-TX/B-TX) Adapter. 3. Running the ACCTEST Program Insert the ACCTON EN1203, EN1207(-TX/B-TX) Series PCI Network Adapter Driver Diskette into drive A:, then type: A:\> ACCTEST <Enter> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.0. Each time you enter ACCTEST program, the program first finds all Accton's PCI adapters on your PC. If your PC does not support PCI BIOS, or there is no Accton's PCI adapter on your PC, then the program will show you an error message. Otherwise, ACCTEST will display information of all Accton's PCI adapters (at most 4) on your PCI machine. Each adapter's information consist of an adapter no., Ethernet address, IRQ used, I/O port used, and a predefined medium type (AUTO or Auto-Negotiation, which means media-type AUTO-sensing). You can use UP, DOWN arrow keys to select the adapter for testing, or use RIGHT, LEFT arrow keys to select the media-type. EN1203 PCI Ethernet adapter supports three media-types: 1. AUTO 2. TP 3. BNC; while EN1207 PCI Fastnet adapter supports four media-types; they are: 1. AUTO 2. TP 100Mbps 3. TP 10Mbps 4. BNC 10Mbps; and EN1207-TX, EN1207B-TX Series has five kinds of medium types: 1. Auto Negotiation 2. TP 10Mbps 3. TP 100Mbps 4. TP 10Mbps Full Duplex 5. TP 100Mbps Full Duplex Finally, you must press ENTER to confirm the selected adapter before entering the test procedure, or press ESC to exit the ACCTEST program. 3.1. After you select an adapter, the Testing Report showing the result of each test conducted appears on your screen. The test results are indicated by a 'PASS' or 'FAIL' remark. 3.2. This screen will present you with a Testing Report to indicate the result of each test conducted. The test results will be indicated by a 'PASS' or 'FAIL' remark. There are three functional keys which can be used while executing the ACCTEST.EXE program, they are <F1> To reset all counters which report the real network status. <F2> To toggle the network function test ON or OFF. <ESC> To terminate and return to the Adapter-Selection Screen. The real network status report on this ACCTEST.EXE program includes TX count, RX count and two errors (CRC and ALG) are shown on the Test Screen. The accumulated program Time and Performance are also shown on the Test Screen. After you press the <F2> key once, the network function test enters into the 'ON' condition; that is, the TX count is going to increase quickly (for a single station). And if there is more than one station running ACCTEST with network function test 'ON' on your network system (multiple stations), then the RX count will also increase quickly to reflect the real network traffic. When any diagnostic test results in a 'FAIL' remark, your screen will change to give you a description of the malfunction, and also give you some advice on how to solve the problem. 4. Test Fail Messages Possible results and suggested solutions for the diagnostic tests are listed below: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Test Result Suggested Solution ----------------------------------------------------------------- Configuration 1. Check PCI BIOS setup about PCI Test Fail adapter . 2. Contact your dealer or ACCTON Technology Corporation. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I/O Test Fail 1. Be sure the parameters for the PCI adapter in BIOS setup are correct. 2. Check if you are running EMM386.EXE. If your EMM386.EXE version si earlier than 4.49, it can not properly handle DWORD accesses and may cause the I/O Test to fail. 3. Contact your dealer or ACCTON Technology Corporation. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ID Test Fail 1. ID checksum error. 2. Contact your dealer or ACCTON Technology Corporation ----------------------------------------------------------------- Internal Loopback 1. Contact your dealer or ACCTON Test Fail Technology Corporation. ----------------------------------------------------------------- External Loopback 1. Check your cables, connectors Test Fail and terminators (coaxial cables). 2. Check if you have selected the right medium type. 3. Check if you are using a crossover cable. If you use crossover cable, you may not pass the external loopback test, yet you can bypass this test just by pressing the ENTER key. 4. Contact your dealer or ACCTON Technology Corporation. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Interrupt Test 1. Check the IRQ setting in the PCI Fail configuration of your computer. 2. Check your cables, connectors and terminators (coaxial cables). 3. Check your BIOS configuration Setting, re-setup your Adapter. 4. Contact your dealer or ACCTON Technology Corporation. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Network Function 1. Check cables, connectors, and Test : board connections. Receive Test Fail 2. Re-install the adapter board. (Rx packet count 3. Reset the stations and run the not running) ACCTEST program in various sequences to decide which adapter board is defective. 4. Contact your dealer or ACCTON Technology Corporation. ------------------------------------------------------------------ --- End of File ---Download Driver Pack
