Packet Driver Example

A typical sequence for loading the packet driver M32APD.COM and default configuration settings is as follows:

M32APD

ETHDRV

If no default configuration settings are used, these must be stated on the M32APD.COM command line. For example,

M32APD IOADDRESS=320 INT=7

ETHDRV

Diagnostic Test Utility Settings (M32ATEST.EXE)

The M32ATEST.EXE utility is a Intel utility for testing Intel adapter hardware. It is an MS-DOS executable file.

M32ATEST.EXE tests the adapter hardware functionality, including the PC Card interface, the serial EEPROM, the Ethernet controller, and the PHY interface (adapter modules). It displays manufacturing information including serial number and date and time of manufacture. It also displays configuration information including interrupt, I/O address, and starting memory location used.

M32ATEST.EXE is an interactive program. It does not take command line parameters. Parameters can be modified and tested through the user interface in the program. See the Troubleshooting section for more information about this utility.
