CS8900 Technical Reference Manual
•
The Internal Loop Back test insures
that the card is operating properly. If
this test fails, make sure the card is
properly attached to the network
(check for LED activity for example).
If network attachment is confirmed,
the card must be repaired or replaced.
•
The Interrupt test insures that there
are no conflicts on the IRQ assign-
ment. If this test fails the IRQ as-
signment must be changed.
•
The DMA channel test insures that
there are no conflicts on the DMA
assignment. If this test fails the DMA
assignment must be changed.
•
The Boot PROM test insures that the
Boot PROM is present, and can be
read. If this test fails, the Boot PROM
was not succesfully read due to a
hardware problem, or due to a con-
flicts on the Boot PROM base ad-
dress assignment.
4.3.1.4 Driver/Install Screen
This screen displays the list of supported
drivers. The user identifies the desired
driver, and can change the name of the
destination directory, if desired. The Util-
ity then copies the driver from that direc-
tory, along with any associated required
data files, to the destination directory.
Configuration files, e.g., NET.CFG and
PROTOCOL.INI are included on the
floppy disk. Typically, the user does not
need to modify these files. One possible
exception applies to Novell installations;
if the user wants to change the Ethernet
frame type, or the IEEE Individual Ad-
dress, the user will need to manually edit
the NET.CFG file in the destination di-
rectory. For example, the frame type is
selected by including only one of the
following four lines in the NET.CFG file
of a client:
Frame Ethernet_SNAP
Frame Ethernet_II
Frame Ethernet_802.2
Frame Ethernet_802.3
In a server, one to four of the following
lines should be included in the AUTO-
EXEC.NCF file:
load EODIISA int=3 port=300
frame=Ethernet_SNAP name=Ethernet_SNAP
load EODIISA int=3 port=300
frame=Ethernet_II name=Ethernet_II
load EODIISA int=3 port=300
frame=Ethernet_802.2 name=Ethernet_802.2
load EODIISA int=3 port=300
frame=Ethernet_802.3 name=Ethernet_802.3
The individual address is defined by in-
cluding the following line in the
NET.CFG file:
Node address 02:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
where the X..X are replaced by the nu-
meric address, with the most-significant
digit occurring on the left.
4.3.1.5 Diagnostics/Network Test
Screen
This function lets the user further verify
the network connection by transferring
data between two CS8900 cards.
