Accton EN2218 Multi-function PC Card
Card Test and Diagnostic Program
ACCTEST.EXE is an MS/DOS program that verifies if the basic functions and
components of the Accton EN2218 Multi-function PC Card work correctly. Since
ACCTEST.EXE accesses hardware directly, you should only run this program in
a native MS/DOS environment (with or without the Card Services.) It is not
recommended to run this program in a DOS box in the Microsoft Windows or
IBM OS/2 environment.
Command line options:
ACCTEST /?
Displays command line options and the supported values for each option.
ACCTEST [/Q:x] [/I:yyy] [/C:c] [/S:z]
/Q:x : The IRQ number for the Ethernet (LAN) device.
x = 2, 3, 4, [5], 9, 10, 11, 12, 15
If not specified, ACCTEST assigns an IRQ number.
/I:yyy : The base I/O address for the Ethernet (LAN) device.
yyy = [300], 320, 340, 360
If not specified, ACCTEST assigns a free range of I/O addresses.
/C:c : The COM port (COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4) for the modem device.
c = 1, 2, 3, 4
If not specified, ACCTEST assigns a free COM port.
/S:z : PCMCIA Slot No.
x = 0, 1...
If not specified, ACCTEST detects the slot number.
ACCTEST.EXE conducts the following tests:
. Configuration Test
Verifies if a Accton EN2218 PC Card is in the PCMCIA slot and if
the IRQ and I/O resources can be obtained successfully to conduct the
subsequent tests.
. I/O Test (for the Ethernet function)
Verifies if the default Ethernet I/O base address (0x300) or the
Ethernet I/O base address specified on the command line works
correctly. If this test fails, more than likely it is because the
I/O address is occupied by another device. In this case please change
the I/O base address by using the /I option on the command line and
execute ACCTEST.EXE again.
. COM PORT Test
Verifies if the default modem COM port (COM3) or the COM port
specified on the command line works correctly. If this test fails,
more than likely it is because the COM port is occupied by another
device in the system. In this case please change the COM port by
using the /C option on the command line and execute ACCTEST.EXE again.
. PC Card RAM Test
Verifies if the RAM (Random Access Memory) component on the PC Card
is free of error.
. Ethernet Node ID Test
Verifies if the Ethernet Node ID is in correct format.
. Ethernet Internal Loopback Test
Conducts Ethernet internal loopback test.
. Ethernet External Loopback Test
Conducts Ethernet external loopback test. To pass this test you
must connect the PC Card to a Ethernet network. Usually this means
you must connect the card to a Ethernet Hub with a TP (twisted pair)
cable.
. Interrupt Test
Verifies if the default Ethernet Interrupt (IRQ) value (5) or the
IRQ value specified on the command line works correctly. If this test
fails, more than likely it is because the IRQ is occupied by another
device in the system. In this case please change the IRQ value by
using the /Q option on the command line and execute ACCTEST.EXE again.
. Network Function Test
Broadcasts traffic on the Ethernet network to verify if the PC Card can
send network data correctly with the specified IRQ and I/O values. The
number of packets transmitted is displayed in the "Tx Count" field.
To conduct this test you must connect the PC Card to a Ethernet network.
Usually this means you must connect the card to a Ethernet Hub with a TP
(twisted pair) cable.
You can use the F2 key to start or to stop the test.
To verify the network receive function, you can execute the Network
Function Test on a second notebook computer on the same network. When
ACCTEST.EXE receives the network packets broadcast by the second
notebook, the number of packets received in displayed in the "Rx Count"
field on the screen.
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.
