Ether16 LAN Card Diagnostic Program Setup & Usage ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1.0 General SETUP Options 1.1 No Option 1.2 /D Option 1.3 /F Option 2.0 Additional Information 2.1 Files List 2.2 Menu for Setup/Diagnostic Program 2.3 Resource Options Technical Support 1.0 General SETUP Options ------------------------- The SETUP.EXE program is responsible for configuring and confirming the functionality of the Linksys Ether16 Family Ethernet Adapters. To run this program, execute one of the following commands: SETUP SETUP /D SETUP /F 1.1 No Option ------------- SETUP runs the standard setup. Running the program without switches will cover almost all situations. SETUP will allow changes to all hardware settings and diagnose most problems with the Linksys Ether16 Family Ethernet Adapters. 1.2 /D Option ------------- SETUP /D allows the adapter to be setup non-interactive. This allows remote batch changes or to ease a multiple card setup. The SETUP program will load the configuration values from a SETUP.DAT text file. SETUP.DAT needs to be in the same directory as SETUP.EXE. Example SETUP.DAT file: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Connector Type UTP ---> This sets the media type I/O Base Address 0x300 ---> This sets the I/O base address Interrupt Number 5 ---> This sets the IRQ number ROM Size 16k ---> This sets the boot ROM size ROM Address 0xD0000 ---> This specifies the boot ROM address PNP Enable ---> This enables the PnP function FullDuplex Enable ---> This enables the full duplex function (Ether16 revision D1 above only) NOTES: 컴컴컴 The PnP function is only used with PnP-compliant adapters. SETUP/D only affects the parameters that are specified in the SETUP.DAT file; other configuration parameters will remain unchanged. If the SETUP.DAT file specifies any parameter settings related to the boot ROM, the boot ROM will be automatically enabled. Otherwise, it is disabled. If the connector type is not specified, the driver will try to automatically detect a cable attached to it's media port(s). 1.3 /F Option ------------- SETUP/F is to be used only if the adapter cannot configured by setup. In some cases using this function can permanently disable the card. Other trouble shooting options should exausted including contacting support before it is used. 2.0 Additional Information ---------------------- 2.1 Files List -------------- A list the setup and diagnostic files: ETHER.COM : The ODI driver DIAG.EXE : The diagnostic program IPXODI.COM : The IPX protocol driver for the ODI stack LSL.COM : The link support layer for the ODI stack NET.CFG : The ODI configuration file NETDIAG.EXE : The network diagnostic program for PnP adapters README.TXT : Contains information on the usage of the setup program SETUP.DAT : The configuration data file SETUP.EXE : The Setup program 2.2 Menu for Setup/Diagnostic Program ------------------------------------- The SETUP main menu provides three options: SetUp Configuration - This option allows you to manually specify configuration values for the adapter. Adapter Basic Diagnostics - This option performs a diagnostic test on the adapter components. Network Diagnostics - This option allows you to test the connectivity of the adapter on the network. SETUP also lets you view the current adapter configuration, including: Viewed items: Your Current Configuration <1> Node ID <2> Bus Mode <3> Card Type <4> I/O Base Address <5> Interrupt Number Viewed/Changed items: Setup Configuration <1> Connector Type <2> I/O Base Address <3> Interrupt Number <4> Plug and play <5> Full Duplex <6> Remote Boot ROM Size/Address The following displays the SETUP main menu: �袴袴袴袴� Main Menu 袴袴袴袴袴� � SetUp Configuration � � Adapter Basic Diagnostics � � Network Diagnostics � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴暠 Select the Setup Configuration option to manually configure your adapter. 旼컴컴컴컴 Setup Configuration 컴컴컴컴컴커 � � � Connector Type ------> UTP (RJ-45) � � I/O Base Address ----> 300 � � Interrupt Number ----> 3 � � Plug and Play -------> Disabled � � Full Duplex ---------> Disabled � � Remote Boot ---------> Disabled � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� The Connector Type field allows specification of the adapter's media port that will be used in its network connection. The I/O Base Address field allows specification of the I/O base address on the adapter. The Interrupt Number field allows specification of the IRQ number on the adapter. The Plug and Play field allows enabling or disabling of the PnP function on the adapter. This field only appears on the Ether16 series of adapters. The Full Duplex field allows enabling or disabling of the Full Duplex function on the adapter. This field only appears on the Ether16 series of adapters. The Remote Boot field allows you to use the remote boot function of the adapter. This however requires that you install a boot ROM chip on the provided socket on the adapter. The Boot ROM Address field allows specification of the starting address for the Boot ROM. This field only appears when the Boot ROM function is enabled. The Boot ROM Size field specifies the boot ROM size (in K). This field only appears when the Boot ROM function is enabled. The Adapter Basic Diagnostics option checks the major components on the adapter and network cable to ensure proper operation.

This test requires that LSL.COM, ETHER.COM and IPXODI.COM be located on the same directory as the Setup program. �袴袴 Network Diagnostic 袴袴� � Set up as a master station � � Set up as a slave station � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴暠 The Network Diagnostics option tests the ability of the adapter to communicate with other stations on the network. This test requires one master station and one slave station. The master station is responsible for sending test packets to the network. The slave station is responsible for sending back these packets to the master station. There is good connectivity if all the packets sent by the master were able to come back. Before running this test, ensure to copy first LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, ETHER.COM and NET.CFG to the same directory where the Setup program resides. Also, ensure that the slave and master stations use the same frame type specified in the net.cfg file. We provide everything you need in the \SETUP directory. To set up a station as master, select "Set up as a master station". To set up the other station as slave, select "Set up as a slave station".
