5. RAM Test: Checks on-board RAM.
The Run Diagnostics on Network option allows
the user to test the network cable connection
between two cards. One card is setup as a Re-
sponder and a second card is setup as an Initia-
tor. The Initiator and Responder will exchange
packets and display the number of transmit and
receive packets that have passed or failed. Note:
A Responder can only recognize one Initiator at a
time.
2.5 Configuration Files
Two options are available in SETUP.EXE to easily
configure many cards to the same settings. Note:
The Save Configuration to File and Load Con-
figuration from File only involve the param-
eters in the Setup New Configuration option of
the main menu. These setup parameters can be
saved to disk to be later loaded on other machines
to configure other cards.
Section Three - Driver Installation
The network operating system (i.e. Novell, Win-
dows 95, Windows NT, LAN Manager, etc.) that
you are using requires a driver to access the
network adapter card. Drivers for popular network
operating systems are included on the installation
diskette in separate subdirectories. Run HELP.EXE
to view information on each network driver.
Most network operating systems provide a setup/
installation program to configure your computer for
use on the network. These programs copy the
appropriate driver directly from the adapter's driver
diskette. Section 3.1 gives an example of this using
Windows 95.
Important Note:
If you are using an upper memory manager, your
