Setting Up an Echo Server
To test 10 Mbps operation of the Fast EtherLink EISA adapter,
use a computer as an echo server that contains a 3Com
10 Mbps adapter or another Fast EtherLink EISA adapter
running at 10 Mbps.
To use this test for 100 Mbps operation of the Fast EtherLink
EISA adapter, use another 3Com Fast EtherLink adapter
operating at 100 Mbps in the computer being used as the
echo server.
In either case, select
Echo Server
under the
Test
menu, and
click the
Start
button to make the computer an echo server.
If you are setting up an echo server on a computer with a
10 Mbps 3Com Ethernet EISA adapter other than a Fast
EtherLink EISA 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 upon 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 5-1.
The diagnostic programs listed come on the
EtherDisk
diskette that accompanied the adapter.
4
Select
Echo Server Setup
on the main menu.
The program notifies you that your computer is now set up
as an echo server.
