PCI EthernetCard Configuration and Diagnostics file
---------------------------------------------------

Your PCI EthernetCard is automatically configured when you power-up your
computer. In certain computers, however, you must modify your BIOS by entering
your CMOS SETUP utility.

To view the configuration parameters assigned by the BIOS, insert the software
diskette into your drive and execute the utility software,EZPCI.A screen menu
will guide you to configure the PCI EthernetCard to fit your computer system's
environment.

The following is the configuration parameters.

   I/O Address   :     being assigned by BIOS to a free I/O address block

   IRQ Line      :     INTA; being assigned by the BIOS to a free IRQ
                       (interrupt) number

   BOOT ROM Size :     8KB, 16KB, and 32KB

   UTP Duplex Type :   Half Duplex and Full Duplex

   Note: You can use this utility to configure two or more PCI EthernetCards
         which are installed on the same computer system.



Before you install the drivers and connect the PCI EthernetCard to the network
, make sure to run the diagnostics to assure the proper function of the adapter.
The diagnostics includes two groups of test :

   1. Card initialization and test
      This test is a series of tests designed to check Network Controller
      Registers, on-board RAM, Internal Lookback and Interrupt Generation.

   2. Advanced Network test
      This test verifies that the network cable is connected, so that the
      adapter can transmit and receive data.

      The test requires two computers. One computer,configured as the Master,
      generates and sends test messages. The other computer, configured as the
      Slave, receives messages and transmits them back to the Master. Results
      can be viewed on both the Master and Slave computers. A screen menu
      provides you with the instructions to conduct this test.

      Note: Run the Card Initialization and test before running the Advanced
            Network Test to ensure that adapter's basic functions are working
            properly.
