============================================================================

1. 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.

  • 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.
