Configuration and Diagnostic Instructions Summary


Overview
--------
The configuration portion of the program allows you to
change the configuration parameters for the adapter to fit
the specific environment in which the adapter is installed.

The diagnostic portion of the Configuration and Diagnostic
Program is designed to make sure that the adapter is
installed correctly and functioning properly in your
computer.  The basic tests check the physical components,
connectors, and circuitry of the adapter and require only
that the adapter be installed in the computer.  The Echo
tests check the adapter's ability to transmit data on the
network and require that the adapter be connected to a
network.

The computer containing the adapter to be configured or
tested must be running DOS only. The best way to boot DOS
for this purpose is to reboot the computer and press F8
as soon as you here the start-up tone or beep. Select
the DOS command prompt option, then run DOSDIAG as
described below.

Starting the Configuration and Diagnostic
-----------------------------------------
There are two ways to start the program:

 1. From the INSTALL.EXE program, by selecting
    Configuration and Diagnostic Program on the main     
    menu.

 2. Manually, from the root directory of the         
    Installation disk, by typing the following command:

    INSTALL [command keyword] [parameter list]

    INSTALL represents the 3Com Configuration and
    Diagnostic Program name.  The brackets indicate that
    the command keyword and parameter list are optional.

    INSTALL without any arguments invokes the program in
    full windows mode.  


Command Line Keywords
---------------------

The command keywords and parameters are not case-sensitive.


CONFIGURE
Configures an adapter using command line configuration parameters


Configuration
-------------
The adapter can be configured in either full screen windows mode or 
command line mode.


Full Screen Windows Mode
------------------------
To configure the adapter using full-screen windowing, type:
    
INSTALL [Enter]. 

Select Configuration and Diagnostic Program on the main
menu.  Then select the Configure Adapter option in the
Configuration and Diagnostic menu.



Command Line with Explicit Parameters
-------------------------------------
Command syntax:  INSTALL CONFIGURE  [ /AUTO /IOBASE:N /INT:N
                 /POLARITY:N /NWLINK:N /LINKBEAT:N ]

Each parameter must be of the structure "/keyword:value"
and contain no blank spaces.  For example: /iobase:300
/int:3

Command line configuration parameters are used to configure
the adapter using only the option settings you specify.  In
most cases, any combination of parameters can be used.
Therefore, it is possible to modify only a few settings if
needed.

/AUTO
The /AUTO parameter configures the adapter automatically
based on the software's best estimate using interpreted
system information.

/IOBASE           
I/O Base Address  
Possible values - 200,210,220,230,240,250,260,270,280,290,

                  340,350,360,370,380,390,3A0
/INT           
Interrupt Level  
Possible values - 3,5,7,9,10,11,12,15

/POLARITY
Possible values - enabled, disabled

NOTE: Auto Polarity may need to be configured to disabled when
connecting to a switch at 10Mbps.

/NWLINK
Network Link
Possible values - auto,100FD,100HD,10FD,10HD

NOTE: Setting Network Link to 100FD means the 
100 Base-T is set to Full Duplex.  

/LINKBEAT
Link beat disable/enable (pre-10BASE-T standard only)
Possible values - ENABLE, DISABLE
