Setting Up an Echo Server
To test 10 Mbps operation of the 10/100BASE-T4 PCI
adapter, use a computer as an echo server that contains an
EtherLink III adapter or another 10/100BASE-T4 PCI adapter.
To test for 100 Mbps operation of the 10/100BASE-T4 PCI
adapter, use another Fast EtherLink PCI adapter in the
computer being used as the echo server.
In either case, select the
Echo Server
menu item under the
Test
menu, and click
Start
to make the computer an echo
server.
If you are setting up an echo server on a computer with a
10 Mbps 3Com adapter other than an EtherLink III adapter,
follow these steps:
1
Select a computer to use as an echo server.
2
Insert the
EtherDisk
diskette for the installed adapter in a
floppy drive.
The
EtherDisk
diskette that accompanied the adapter
contains the diagnostic program.
3
Start the diagnostic program on the echo server.
The diagnostic program that you use depends on the
adapter board that is installed in the echo server. After the
system prompt of the drive containing the Configuration and
Diagnostic Program, enter the name of the program (3CXXX),
as indicated in Table 4-1.
The diagnostic programs listed in Table 4-1 come on the
EtherDisk
diskette that accompanies the adapter.
4
From the main menu, select
Echo Server Setup
.
The program notifies you that your computer is now set up
as an echo server.
