3Com Corporation 3CCFE574BT 10/100 LAN PC Card 3CXFE574BT 10/100 LAN PC Card 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.

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, 2A0,2B0,2C0,2D0,2E0,2F0,300,310,320,330, 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 NOTE: Try this setting ONLY if pre-10BASE-T standard hubs are in use.
