Viewing Configuration Parameters

To view system configuration parameters, select System Config from the View menu. The configuration information is grouped into three categories. To view specific information, click on the PCMCIA, System or Network button.

Modifying Configuration Parameters

To modify PCMCIA configuration parameters, select Configure PCMCIA from the Configure menu. The same Hardware Setup screen which appears during the installation process appears. Follow the instructions in the 'Hardware Setup Parameters' section to modify these parameters.

Modifying the Network Speed

Token Ring networks operate at a speed of either 16 Mbps or 4 Mbps. To modify the Network Speed of your SPT adapter, select Network speed from the Configure menu. The same Network Speed screen which appears during the installation process appears. Follow the instructions in the 'Setting the Network Speed' section to modify this parameter.

Testing the Adapter

The adapter testing utility automatically performs the following tests:

Configuration Test

PCMCIA Tuples Test

Token Ring Basic Test

If a test fails, the computer stops running all other tests and displays details about the failure.

Under normal operating conditions, there is no need to run the test program. The tests should be run if you encounter problems during or after the installation of the Token Ring PCMCIA card adapter drivers. The program has been designed to detect conflicts originating from either the Token Ring PCMCIA Card, or the host computer.

To test the adapter functions of the Token Ring PCMCIA card, select Start Testing from the Test menu.

The same Test screen which appears during the installation process appears. Follow the instructions in the 'Running Tests' section, for displaying the test results.

Note: If you attempt to run tests when a network driver is loaded, an error message appears and the tests will not run.
