Running Diagnostic Checks
If you have not cycled power and rebooted the
computer since changing the configuration,
diagnostics will run against the old settings.
The CardAssistant diagnostic routines test the board and the
configuration for functional problems or conflicts with other
devices. The routines are:
❑ PC bus interface
❑ On-board RAM
❑ Interrupt test
❑ Internal loopback
❑ MAC address
❑ Boot PROM
You can see if the board passes before connecting the computer
to the network, and then confirm that it still passes after the
network connector is plugged in. This method can help you
isolate any problem.
Checking the AT-1700 configuration
1. Invoke CardAssistant if necessary. See “Invoking
CardAssistant” on page 15.
2. Select the Diagnostics menu. Type: d
.
The diagnostic routines display whether the card passed each
test and report possible causes of any failures.
