PRO/100 LAN+Modem PC Card User’s Guide

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

M16BTEST 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 config-

ured 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 PC Card.

Contact Intel Customer Support.
The CIS section displays the serial number of the unit, its manufacturing

date, and its network node address. This data has been preprogrammed at

the factory and cannot be altered.

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. The

network line speed and line mode can also be set from this function.

SOFTWARE

This function attempts to determine what software is currently loaded that

could affect the operation of the card. It displays the current version of

MS-DOS and Windows, and any Card and Socket Services available

(under Windows 3.x or MS-DOS).
