Main Screen

The program consists of several function “buttons” and a view pane. Pressing or invoking a function will bring up the corresponding screen in the view pane. This view remains until another is selected. To exit M32ATEST type 'x' or push the 'Exit' button.

When a function is active, the button appears to remain down or pushed. Once the button pops up, the function is completed and the screen is a passive results display.

There are nine functions which can be invoked by pushing the associated button on the main screen. A button can be pushed by pressing the highlighted letter indicated on the button, or by using the left mouse button. Each function is explained below.

TEST

This function uses the current configuration to initialize the adapter and verify it is powered on and properly seated in its slot. It displays the current setting and test result for each parameter. Parameters are configured through the CONFIGURE function described below. If a card is detected and initialized successfully, the CIS information is displayed.

A failure may indicate that service is required for the PRO/100 CardBus adapter. Contact Intel Customer Support.

The CIS section displays the model and serial numbers of the unit, its manufacturing date and time, and its network node address. This data has been preprogrammed at the factory and cannot be altered.

Important

Write down the PRO/100 CardBus adapter model and serial numbers for reference

Customer Support will ask you to supply the model and serial numbers when requesting technical assistance or warranty service from Intel.

CONFIGURE

This function allows the user to set the parameters used for testing. The address mode can be set to Auto, Memory, or I/O. For Memory and I/O a hexadecimal address can be specified. The IRQ can be set to Auto, or IRQ. The IRQ selection can be used to force a particular interrupt, and a specific type of interrupt (PCI or ISA). The network line speed and line mode can also be set from this function.
