5.RAM Test: Checks
The Run Diagnostics on Network option allows the user to test the network cable connection between two cards. One card is setup as a Re- sponder and a second card is setup as an Initia- tor. The Initiator and Responder will exchange packets and display the number of transmit and receive packets that have passed or failed. Note: A Responder can only recognize one Initiator at a time.
2.5 Configuration Files
Two options are available in SETUP.EXE to easily configure many cards to the same settings. Note: The Save Configuration to File and Load Con- figuration from File only involve the param- eters in the Setup New Configuration option of the main menu. These setup parameters can be saved to disk to be later loaded on other machines to configure other cards.
Section Three - Driver Installation
The network operating system (i.e. Novell, Win- dows 95, Windows NT, LAN Manager, etc.) that you are using requires a driver to access the network adapter card. Drivers for popular network operating systems are included on the installation diskette in separate subdirectories. Run HELP.EXE to view information on each network driver.
Most network operating systems provide a setup/ installation program to configure your computer for use on the network. These programs copy the appropriate driver directly from the adapter's driver diskette. Section 3.1 gives an example of this using Windows 95.
