TESTING THE NETWORK CARD
Introduction
EZStart is a multi-function Windows-like utility provided on the SuperDisk. EZStart lets you install network drivers, test the EtherPower II 10/100 network card, and display driver installation instructions simply by pointing and clicking your mouse.
EZStart can perform the following tests on the network card to verify its functionality:
KBasic Adapter Test—verifies the operation of the network card's basic functions. See page 4-3.
KTwo-Node Adapter Test—verifies the network card's ability to communicate over the network with another card. At least one other computer containing an SMC network card must be connected to the network. As long as the cards are interfaced to an Ethernet (or Fast Ethernet) hub that supports 10/100 Mbps switching capability, the two-node test can be performed with a mixture of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps cards. See page 4-3.
KNetwork Card Diagnostic Utility—a Windows-based network card diagnostic utility that provides a quick, convenient way for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT v4.0 and v3.51 users to test the basic functions of their EtherPower II 10/100 network card. See page 4-6.
