1. The PCI Network Adapters Testing Program - DIAG.EXE
The 32-Bit PCI Ethernet driver disk includes a network testing program
called DIAG. Run this program to check if your adapter is properly
installed. The DIAG program works for the 32-bit 10/100M(-NWAY) PCI
Fast Ethernet Adapter.
This DIAG program performs the following tests on your adapter :
a. Configuration Test
b. I/O Test
c. ID Test
d. Internal Loopback Test
e. External Loopback Test
f. Interrupt Test
g. Network Function Test
2. Test Requirements
To run DIAG, you need at least two workstations, each with an installed
PCI Fast Ethernet or 32-Bit PCI Ethernet Adapter. You should run the
program in both workstations, one after the other. If you want to test
100Mbps Fast Ethernet operation, you must have at least two workstations
each with an installed 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Adapter.
3. Running the DIAG Program
Insert the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet driver
Diskette into your floppy drive (A:\), and type:
A:\> DIAG <Enter>
3.0. Each time when you enter the DIAG program, it will find all 32-bit PCI
Series (Fast) Ethernet adapters on your PC. If your PC does not support
the PCI BIOS, or there is no 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet adapter on
your PC, DIAG will show you an error message. Otherwise it will display
information on all 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet adapters on your PCI
machine. Each adapter's information includes adapter no., Ethernet
address, IRQ used, I/O port used, and a predefined media type (AUTO or
Auto-Negotiation, means media-type AUTO-sensing). You can use the UP and
DOWN arrow keys to select the adapter for testing, or use the RIGHT and
LEFT arrow keys to select the media-type. The 32-bit PCI Series (Fast)
Ethernet adapter supports five media-types as follows:
1. Auto Negotiation
2. Twisted Pair 10Mbps
3. Twisted Pair 100Mbps
4. Twisted Pair 10Mbps in full-duplex mode
5. Twisted Pair 100Mbps in full-duplex mode
Press <ENTER> to confirm the selected adapter and enter the test procedure,
or press ESC to exit the DIAG program.
3.1. The screen will display the status of each test. After you select an
adapter, the Testing Report showing the results of each test conducted
appears on your screen. The test results are indicated by a "PASS" or
"FAIL" remark.
The screen display on your monitor is like Figure 1.

3.2. This screen presents you with a Testing Report to indicate the results of
each test conducted. The test results are indicated by a "PASS" or "FAIL"
remark.
There are three functional keys which can be used when running the DIAG.EXE
Program. They are:
<F1> To reset all counters which report the real
network status.
<F2> To toggle the network function test ON or OFF.
A toggle switch is provided to turn the network function
test on and off.
<ESC> To terminate and return to the Adapter-Selection Screen.
The real network status reports on the DIAG.EXE program including
TX count, RX count, CRC errors and ALG errors are shown on the
Test Screen. Also the accumulated program run time and the performance are
displayed on the Test Screen.
When you press the <F2> key once, the network function test will become the "ON"
Condition; that is, TX count is going to increase quickly (in a single station).
If more than one station is running DIAG with network function test "ON" on your
network system (multiple stations), then RX count will also increase quickly to
reflect the real network traffic.
When any of the diagnosis tests results in a "FAIL" remark, your screen
will state the possible causes of the malfunction and offer some advice on
solving the problem.
4. Test Fail Messages
Possible results and suggested solutions for the diagnostics test
are listed below :
Failure results and suggested solutions of the diagnostics tests
are listed below :
==========================================================================
º Test Result º Suggested Solution º
==========================================================================
º Configuration º 1. Check PCI BIOS setup for PCI adapter. º
º Test Fail º 2. Contact your dealer. º

º º has a version earlier than 4.49 º
º º or the HIGHSCAN flag is in use, º
º º it can not properly handle º
º º DWORD accesses and may cause º

º Test Fail º and terminators(Coaxial cables). º
º º 2. Check if you have selected the right º
º º medium type. º
º º 3. Check if you are using a cross-over cable. º

º º pass the external loopback test, yet you º
º º can bypass this test by pressing ENTER key. º
º º 4. Contact your dealer. º

º Interrupt Test º 1. Check IRQ setting for the PCI º
º Fail º configuration of your computer. º
º º 2. Check your cables, connectors and º
º º terminators (Coaxial cables). º
