III. DIAG OPTIONS ================= The diagnostic program, DIAG.EXE, is provided to you to let you configure the hardware and test/diagnose the conditions of your card. DIAG.EXE can only support one card. DIAG.EXE will NOT check whether the user's command conflicts with the system environment. 1. Setup Hardware: Option allows configuration changes to the IRQ, base I/O, media port selection and boot ROM address, if installed. Defaults are I/O: 300, IRQ: 15, media port (T model): UTP, media port (U model): auto select, boot ROM: disable 2. Diagnostics: Performs simple internal tests to indicate that the card should be operating correctly. Do not perform diagnostics tests if a driver is loaded. 3. Network Test Allows the PC to behave as either a client or a server for testing purposes only. 4. View Settings Displays the card parameters, such as base I/O and IRQ. Parameters may not be modified in this option. ------------------------------------------------------------ -- DOS Command Line Options -- ------------------------------------------------------------ It is also possible to configure an adapter card with the DIAG program from the DOS command-line interface. This method may be convenient for the network administrator who wish to prepare and configure many AT-2000 Plus cards for users in an assembly-line approach. To run the DIAG program from the DOS command line, the syntax is as follows: DIAG [parameters] Parameters may be one or more of the following (in either upper or lower case): /? Display help screen /D Display hardware current status /A Set hardware automatically /Pxxx Change the I/O port address /Ixx Change the interrupt number /Mxxxx Change the Boot ROM address /T Change the connector type to UTP /B Change the connector type to BNC /U Change the connector type to AUI /Cy_n Change to compatible or incompatible (CY or CN) For example: 1) If you want to display help, type: DIAG /? [Enter] 2) To see your current hardware settings, you can type: DIAG /D [Enter] 3) If you want to setup your hardware automatically, type: DIAG /A [Enter] Note: The auto configuration function may not work properly under the following circumstance: a) if non-standard peripherals, such as SCSI cards, are in-stalled. b) if some devices (mouse/modem) will be installed in the future. 4) If you want to change your I/O port address to 280h, IRQ to 5, and Boot ROM address to C400, type: DIAG /P280 /I5 /MC400 [Enter] Note: 1. You can use /M0 to disable ROM. 2. You have to cold start your PC after resetting the Boot ROM address. 5) You can change the connector type (U model only) setting by typing: DIAG /B [Enter] to set your connector type to BNC. 6) If your PC is fully timing-compatible with the IBM PC/AT bus, type: DIAG /CY otherwise, type: DIAG /CN
