Troubleshooting

PC Diagnostic Program

To run the diagnostic program on your PC, follow the procedure below.

1

Insert the Asanté Driver Disk into drive A.

2

At the DOS prompt, type the following command:

A:\UTILITY\DIAGPCI

3

Press Enter.

A warning message window appears that you should read.

4

Press

C to continue (or ESC to abort the diagnostic pro-

gram).

The diagnostic program searches for adapters installed in
your computer system. A screen appears showing you the
adapters found.

5

Select the appropriate adapter from the list and press
Enter.

Use the UP or DOWN arrow key to make a selection.

A screen appears showing you the following menu options:

Loopback Tests

— tests the adapter by sending packets

across the components for loopback tests.

Adapter Status

— displays the adapter configuration

information such as PCI slot number, base I/O address,
interrupt line, media type, network speed, and Ethernet
node address.

Go Back to previous screen

6

Select

Loopback Tests

and press Enter.

The program runs a series of tests. Their results are dis-
played for you after each test with a PASSED or FAILED indi-
cation.

7

When the tests finish, verify the results to make sure that
all tests passed.

If a test fails, check that the adapter is seated properly in a
PCI bus-mastering slot or try installing the adapter in a dif-
ferent PCI slot and run the tests again. Make sure your
computers’s power cord is first unplugged before wiggling
or removing any adapter cards!

Press any key to return to the menu option screen.
