AT&T IPC-1600 - page 90

Introduction

This chapter includes detailed information on troubleshooting the

Intelligent Ports Card and the use of the diagnostic program supplied on the

“Intelligent Ports Card (IPC-1600) MS-DOS Device Drivers and Diagnostics,

Version 1.0” diskette. Information on how to use the IPC-1600 with other

products and other “Helpful Hints” are also provided in this chapter.

Note: Systems running the UNIX operating system must either

create a native MS-DOS partition on the system disk and

make it the active partition or boot native MS-DOS from a

diskette drive to run the IPC-1600 diagnostics. The

IPC16DIA.COM file on the diskette is copied to the system

disk drive to run the diagnostics from the system disk drive.

When MS-DOS is booted from diskette, the IPC-1600

diagnostics are run from IPC-1600 MS-DOS diskette. Refer to

the MS-DOS documentation for information on creating a

MS-DOS partition and copying files.
