For the Network Diagnostics, the cable connecting your station
with its supporting hub/switch must be in place. Network
Diagnostic involves ”broadcast” transmission of test packets
from the initiator station. The test cannot be fully implemented
unless a responder station on the LAN is available to the
Network Diagnostics, in order to return the test packets to the
initiator station.
To run the Diagnostic Program, proceed with these steps:
Adapter Basic Diagnostics
1. Insert the 32-bit CardBus 10/100Mbps NWay Fast
Ethernet PC Card Driver Diskette in an available drive
(here shown as drive A). At the DOS prompt (here shown
as >), key in:
> A: \Rset\ENCBRSET.BAT and <Enter>.
The opening screen of the Diagnostic program will appear.
2. Review the reported configuration data before proceeding
to Step 3.
3. The Configuration Data screen also features a Diagnostic
Menu. Follow the cues at the foot of the screen to select
and run the Adapter Basic Diagnostic program. The
adapter function test results will appear onscreen. In the
loopback test, test signals are intercepted and reflected at
the MAC level without reaching the network cable. If the
results are normal, then go ahead to the Network
Operation test, starting with Step 4.
