Diagnostic Test Utility (M16BTEST.EXE)
Intel provides a DOS-based self test diagnostics program. This program,
located on PRO/100 PC Card Disk 2, Network Drivers Disk, tests several
adapter functions. It also reports test results, the serial number of the unit,
and the node (or Ethernet) address.
M16BTEST can only be run from an MS-DOS command line. Under
Windows 95 and Windows NT, power down the computer perform a
clean boot to the MS-DOS prompt (under Windows 95 press Shift+F5 at
the message Starting Windows 95 . . . ).
The M16BTEST utility is intended to be a diagnostic tool for trouble-
shooting configuration errors. Cards can be inserted and removed at any
time. Multiple cards and different configurations can be tested.

operating system.

network driver before running M16BTEST may cause unpredict-
able results when exiting the test utility.
