Siemens OfficeLAN PCI 10/100 TX Fast Ethernet Adapter
Diagnostic Program
INSTALLATION GUIDE
(1). History :
--------------
Version Descriptions
--------- ------------------------------------------------------------
v2.11 Release to support the 10Base-T/100Base-TX media types.
v2.14 Update to support the MII Phy with N-Way
Auto-Negotiation capability.
v2.15 Update to decrease the time to wait for
N-Way Auto-Negotiation complete during reset.
v2.16 Update to support PCI device rev.3A controller.
v2.17 Modify the copyright message of the Diagnostic Program.
v2.18 Modify the text messages of the Diagnostic Program.
(2). Software Environment :
---------------------------
1. Make sure that free conventional memory is more than 200K
before execute this Diagnostic Program.
2. Make sure that Expanded Memory Manager (EMM386.EXE) is
version 4.49 or later (date is 05-31-94) for compatibility.
3. The Diagnostic Program should not be run under DOS prompt
of Windows.
(3). Statistic Counters :
-------------------------
1. Transmission:
Items Descriptions
---------------------- -------------------------------------------
Collision Count Number of collisions before the frame is
transmitted.
Frame deferred When set, frame was delayed to be transmitted
because of the carrier was asserted.
FIFO underflow When set, transmission was aborted because the
transmit FIFO is underflow. It may be caused by
PCI bus overloaded or low threshold in the
transmit FIFO.
Heartbeat failure When set, it means SQE test fails.
Excessive collisions When set, transmission was aborted because
of 16 consecutive collisions.
Late collision When set, the controller has run into a
collision after the collision window of
64 bytes.
No carrier When set, carrier is not present during the
transmission.
Loss of carrier When set, carrier is lost during the
transmission.
Jabber time-out When set, the transmit jabber timer expired
The controller's transmitter is babbling.
Retry count Indicates the number of retry for Client
station to re-build connection with Server
station when timeout to wait for response
from Server station.
2. Reception:
Items Descriptions
---------------------- -------------------------------------------
FIFO overflow When set, the receive FIFO is full. The
controller flushes the receive FIFO and
closes the descriptor with this bit set.
The frame is truncated.
CRC error When set, cyclic redundancy check failed.
Dribbling bit When set, the received frame is not a integer
multiple byte frame. This bit is reported only
if the dribbling bits are more than 2 bits.
Watchdog time-out When the controller receives a frame longer
than 2048 bytes, the controller set this bit.
Collision seen When set, a late collision after the collision
window has happened during receiving of
the frame.
Frame too long When set, the received frame is longer than the
maximum Ethernet-specified length 1518 bytes.
Runt Packet When set, the received frame is corrupted by
premature termination before the collision
window had passed.
Length error If the controller detects an unavailable buffer
when it pre-fetches the next descriptor, the
controller truncates the frame and set this bit.
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.
