INSTALL Diagnostics Window
The Diagnostics Window is used to test the TNIC adapter card
configuration.
The I/O Address, DMA Channel, and IRQ Level are configuration
settings. A “PASS” test result means the system does not have other
cards in the system set to the TNIC card’s settings. A “FAIL” result
means the failed setting conflicts with another card in the system.
Either the TNIC adapter card’s or the conflicting card’s settings should
be changed. Non-conflicting settings are indicated in the Automatic
and Custom configuration windows as blue. A “N/A” result means the
setting does not apply to the TNIC adapter card.
The loopback test determines if the computer system is able to
communicate with the TNIC adapter card. A “PASS” test result means
the system could write and read to the adapter card. A “FAIL” result
means the system could not write and read to the adapter card.

Installing Configuration and Driver Software
To install the card configuration and driver software:
1. Make sure HIMEM.SYS is present in the CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Insert Disk 1 of the TRANSITION Networks Universal TNIC
Driver Disk into the floppy drive.
NOTE: To run INSTALL faster, copy the disk contents to a
temporary directory on the system hard drive.
3. Change the directory to the drive and path where the INSTALL
utility is located. At the prompt, type:
install.exe
Then press <Enter>.
If the pcnet.txt file is corrupt, the following error message will
be displayed:
“The tnic.txt file is an incompatible
version. Please contact a TRANSITION
Networks sales representative to receive
the correct version.”
4. Follow the direction on the INSTALL screens to complete the
card configuration and driver installation for the TNIC adapter
card.
NOTE: Depending on which TNIC adapter card is being
configured, the INSTALL utility may not allow certain fields to
be modified.
