3.3 Ethernet software configuration

The PCM-9575’s on-board Ethernet interface supports all major network operating systems. To configure the medium type, to view the current configuration, or to run diagnostics, do the following:

1.Power the PCM-9575 on. Make sure that the RSET8139.EXE file is located in the working drive.

2.At the prompt, type RSET8139.EXE and press <Enter>. The Ether- net configuration program will then be displayed.

3.This simple screen shows all the available options for the Ethernet interface. Just highlight the option you wish to change by using the Up and Down keys. To change a selected item, press <Enter>, and a screen will appear with the available options. Highlight your option and press <Enter>. Each highlighted option has a helpful message guide displayed at the bottom of the screen for additional information.

4.After you have made your selections and are sure this is the config- uration you want, press ESC. A prompt will appear asking if you

want to save the configuration. Press Y if you want to save.

The Ethernet Setup Menu also offers three very useful diagnostic func- tions. These are:

1.Run EEPROM Test.

2.Run Diagnostics on Board.

3.Run Diagnostics on Network.

Each option has its own display screen that shows the format and result of any diagnostic tests undertaken.
