This chapter explains how to run the Setup/Diagnostic utility,
customize the Turbo board configuration, and view the board status.
Setup/Diagnostic Utility
The Digital EtherWORKS 3
Turbo
distribution diskette contains a
Setup/Diagnostic utility to help you configure the
Turbo
boards to
operate without interference from other resources. It is recommended
that you run the utility after initial installation to ensure that the
board is set up to meet your system requirements and to verify
module functionality.
The NICSETUP utility can configure and display setup options for
up to four Turbo boards in a system. When you run NICSETUP
diagnostics, make sure the RAMDIAG.COM file is in the same
directory.
When the
Turbo and Turbo PLUS boards are connected to ThinWire,
it is necessary for the BNC T-connector to be terminated with two
50-ohm terminators; otherwise, NICSETUP will display a Loopback
Error message. You will also receive Loopback Error messages if you
run full diagnostics including Loopback on a
live
network.
NICSETUP will not allow diagnostics to be run when it detects
that the Turbo board is active . The board is considered active if a
network device driver was loaded. It may be necessary to remove the
statement that loads the device driver in the CONFIG.SYS or other
files, and cold boot the PC to deactivate the board.
