Introduction The diagnostic program, PNPDIAG.EXE, can be used to configure the hardware and test/diagnose the conditions of your card. To use PNP functions, you must implement a Plug-and-Play environment via Intel's Configuration Manager or Plug-and-Play BIOS; otherwise, this card can only function as a jumperless Ethernet card. In such a case, you should follow the driver installation process for jumper- less Etherent card. Note: You can use Windows 95 that provides Plug-and-Play features as your platform to run with our PNP Ethernet Card. 2. Running PNPDIAG.EXE To run PNPDIAG.EXE, you should: 1) Set up a Plug-and-Play environment using Intel's Configuration Manager or PNP BIOS. 2) At the DOS prompt, type PNPDIAG to enter PNPDIAG's main menu. 3) Select any option and press <Enter> to perform the related task. 3. Configuring the Card PNPDIAG provides the following options: >> View Current Configuration >> Custom Setup >> Default Setup >> Run Diagnostics >> Exit 1) View Current Configuration Highlight this option and press <Enter>, a panel including the following settings will be displayed. >> Operating Mode:.............. Plug & Play >> PNP Vendor ID:............... RPTE201 >> PNP Serial Number:........... 41 00 00 00 >> Ethernet Address:............ 00 40 95 4D 00 41 >> Medium Type:................. Auto Detect >> Full-duplex:................. Disabled >> I/O Base:.................... 330 H >> Interrupt:................... 3 >> Boot ROM:.................... Disabled Note: Depending on each card's settings, the values shows in this panel may differ. 2) Custom Setup Generally, system resource assignment are done by Intel's Con- figuration Manager, PNP BIOS, or Windows 95's Device Manager while PC power up. However, you can use this option to change any settings. >> Operating Mode . Jumperless Sets the card to function as a jumper- less Ethernet card. . Plug & Play Sets the card to function as a Plug & Play card. >> Medium Type . Auto Detects the medium type you are using automatically. * >> I/O Base Specifies the I/O base address of the card. This is provided for use in Jumperless mode. The default is 300. * >> Interrupt Specifies the IRQ of the card. This is provided for use in Jumperless mode. The default is 3. >> Full-duplex . Disabled Disables full-duplex function. . Enabled Enables full-duplex function to send and receive data simultaneously. >> Boot ROM . Disabled Disables Boot ROM function. . Enabled Enables Boot ROM, including: - 16 Kilo-Bytes - 32 Kilo-Bytes - 64 Kilo-Bytes - Page mode Only when the Boot ROM function is enabled, and the Plug & Play mode is selected, the following becomes available. . Power-up I/O Base . Power-up IRQ . Power-up Adapter Status Above three values are loaded from EEPROM while PC reset. Notice that the Power-up Adapter Status should be marked as "Active" the Boot ROM can function properly. 3) Default Setup You can use this option to display the card's default settings. If you want those settings to be the configuration of your LAN board, you can press <Space> and reboot your PC to have the changes take effect. 4) Run Diagnostics You can use the following choices to diagnose your card. >> Run EEPROM Test Tests whether the read/write functions of EEPROM are functioning. >> Run Diagnostics on Board Tests if the Board Reset, I/O registers, Loop Back, RAM, and Cable Connection are operating. >> Run Diagnostics on Network . Set as Initiator Before doing this, you should first select one station to act as server. Then you can see data of Packets Transmitted Ok, Packets Transmitted Error, Pakcets Received Ok, and Packets Received Error. . Set as Responder While running this test, you can see the statistics of the Packets Transmitted Ok, Pakcets Transmitted fail, Packets Received Ok, and Packets Received Error. 5) Exit When you want to close the setup program and return to the DOS prompt, just highlight the "Exit" and press <Enter>, or press <Esc> on the main menu, your changes will have been made.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
