10/100 Fast Ethernet CardBus PC Card
Card Test Program
1. ACCTEST.EXE - The ACCTON EN2220/EN2225 CardBus PC Card Testing Program
ACCTEST.EXE is the EN2220/EN2225 CardBus PC Card testing program. This program
runs only under a native MS-DOS system. It is not recommended to run this
program in a Microsoft Windows or IBM OS/2 DOS box. Before executing
ACCTEST.EXE, you must execute CBOPEN.EXE, the EN2220/EN2225 CardBus PC Card
enabler, first.
You can use ACCTEST.EXE to check if EN2220/EN2225 is working properly in your
notebook computer. ACCTEST.EXE performs the following tests:
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
You must have a notebook computer that is equipped with CardBus sockets.
For some notebooks on the market today, the CardBus sockets are configured
to work in either the 16-bit PCMCIA mode or the 32-bit CardBus mode.
EN2220/EN2225 works only in the CardBus mode. Please consult the documentation
that comes with your notebook on how to properly configure the CardBus
sockets.
You can use a single notebook to test the basic functionality of the EN2220/EN2225. However, when conducting the Network Function Test, EN2220/EN2225 sends a stream of Ethernet packets on the network to test the packet ransmission function. In this case, it is recommended to have a second notebook on the same
network, also with an EN2220/EN2225 installed and running ACCTEST.EXE, to receive the packets. The number of packets transmitted and received and the
performance figure are displayed by ACCTEST. You can use the two-notebook
test configuration to make sure the EN2220/EN2225 PC Cards, the cables, and other networking components are all working properly.
3. Running the ACCTEST Program
Insert an EN2220/EN2225 CardBus PC Card into a CardBus socket in your
notebook. Also insert the EN2220/EN2225 Driver Disk in floppy drive
A:, and type:
A:\> CBOPEN <Enter>
A:\> ACCTEST <Enter>
When ACCTEST starts, it tries to find all EN2220/EN2225 CardBus PC Cards in the
notebook. If your notebook does not support PCI BIOS, or there is no EN2220/EN2225 in the system, the program will display an error message. Otherwise, ACCTEST displays information about all EN2220/EN2225 cards found.
Each EN2220/EN2225's information consists of the card number, its Ethernet address, the IRQ used, the I/O port used, and a predefined medium type. (The Auto-Negotiation type indicates that the medium type is AUTO sensed.) You can use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to select the card to test, or use the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys to select the medium type. EN2220/EN2225 supports the following five medium types:
1. Auto Negotiation
2. TP 10Mbps
3. TP 100Mbps
4. TP 10Mbps Full Duplex
5. TP 100Mbps Full Duplex
At this point, you can press the ESC key to exit ACCTEST; or
press the ENTER key to start the test on the selected PC Card.
ACCTEST begins the test and executes the test items one by one until
it comes to the Network Function Test. For each test item, ACCTEST
displays either a PASS or FAIL criterion. If a test item fails,
ACCTEST displays a window at the bottom of the screen to indicate
possible causes for the failure and the recommended correction procedure.
For the Network Function Test, you can use the following three function keys
to control the test:
<F1> To reset all counters
<F2> To toggle the Network Function Test to either ON or OFF. When
the Network Function Test is switched to ON, EN2220/EN2225
continuously sends Ethernet packets on the network. Press F2 a
second time to stop this process.
<ESC> To terminate and return to the PC Card selection screen.
The Network Function Test reports these statistics: Number of packets
transmitted (TX count), number of packets received (RX count), number of
packets with ALG error, number of packets with CRC error, and the
number of collisions. It also displays how long the test has been
running and a calculated performance figure that shows how many data bytes
are transmitted per second.
4. Suggested solution to failed test items
Failure Item Suggested Solution
--------------- -------------------
Configuration 1. Make sure the CardBus socket is
Test properly configured to support
CardBus cards.
2. Make sure an EN2220/EN2225 is properly
inserted and seated in a CardBus
socket.
3. Make sure you have executed
CBOPEN.EXE before executing
ACCTEST.EXE.
------------------------------------------------------------
I/O Test 1. Check if you are running
EMM386.EXE. If the EMM386.EXE
has a version earlier than 4.49,
it can not properly handle
DWORD accesses and may cause
the I/O Test to fail.
-----------------------------------------------------------
ID Test 1. Make sure the PC Card is a most
recent version of EN2220/EN2225.
------------------------------------------------------------
Internal Loopback 1. Make sure the EN2220/EN2225 is seated
Test securely in the CardBus socket.
------------------------------------------------------------
External Loopback 1. Check your cables and connectors.
Test
2. Check if you have selected the
correct medium type.
3. Check if you are using a cross-
over cable, if you use cross-
over cable, you may not pass the
external loopback test.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Interrupt Test 1. Check the IRQ setting in the PCI
configuration.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Network Function 1. Check that cables, connectors, and
Test: hubs are properly connected.
Receive Test Fails 2. Re-install the PC Card.
(Rx packet count 3. Reset the notebook and run the
not running) ACCTEST program in various
sequences to decide which
PC Card is defective.
If after following the suggested procedures to correct the problems and a
certain test item still fails, please contact your dealer or Accton
Technology Corporation.
