The PCI Network Adapters Testing Program - DIAG.EXE The 32-Bit PCI Ethernet driver disk includes a network testing program called DIAG. Run this program to check if your adapter is properly installed. The DIAG program works for the 32-bit 10/100M(-NWAY) PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter. This DIAG program performs the following tests on your adapter : a. Configuration Test b. I/O Test c. ID Test d. Internal Loopback Test e. External Loopback Test f. Interrupt Test g. Network Function Test 2. Test Requirements To run DIAG, you need at least two workstations, each with an installed PCI Fast Ethernet or 32-Bit PCI Ethernet Adapter. You should run the program in both workstations, one after the other. If you want to test 100Mbps Fast Ethernet operation, you must have at least two workstations each with an installed 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Adapter. 3. Running the DIAG Program Insert the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet driver Diskette into your floppy drive (A:\), and type: A:\> DIAG 3.0. Each time when you enter the DIAG program, it will find all 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet adapters on your PC. If your PC does not support the PCI BIOS, or there is no 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet adapter on your PC, DIAG will show you an error message. Otherwise it will display information on all 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet adapters on your PCI machine. Each adapter's information includes adapter no., Ethernet address, IRQ used, I/O port used, and a predefined media type (AUTO or Auto-Negotiation, means media-type AUTO-sensing). You can use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to select the adapter for testing, or use the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys to select the media-type. The 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet adapter supports five media-types as follows: 1. Auto Negotiation 2. Twisted Pair 10Mbps 3. Twisted Pair 100Mbps 4. Twisted Pair 10Mbps in full-duplex mode 5. Twisted Pair 100Mbps in full-duplex mode Press to confirm the selected adapter and enter the test procedure, or press ESC to exit the DIAG program. 3.1. The screen will display the status of each test. After you select an adapter, the Testing Report showing the results of each test conducted appears on your screen. The test results are indicated by a "PASS" or "FAIL" remark. The screen display on your monitor is like Figure 1. ============================================================================= | 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Adapter Network Testing Program | | Version 1.08 Release Date: 11-07-1997 | ============================================================================= 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같갰 별같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같갰 Configuration test : PASS 별같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같갰 I/O test : PASS 별같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같갰 ID test : PASS 별같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같갰 Internal Loopback Test : PASS 별같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같갰 External Loopback Test : PASS 별같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같갰 Interrupt test : _ 별같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같갰 별같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� ESC to Exit Figure 1 - 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Adapter Test Screen 3.2. This screen presents you with a Testing Report to indicate the results of each test conducted. The test results are indicated by a "PASS" or "FAIL" remark. There are three functional keys which can be used when running the DIAG.EXE Program. They are: To reset all counters which report the real network status. To toggle the network function test ON or OFF. A toggle switch is provided to turn the network function test on and off. To terminate and return to the Adapter-Selection Screen. The real network status reports on the DIAG.EXE program including TX count, RX count, CRC errors and ALG errors are shown on the Test Screen. Also the accumulated program run time and the performance are displayed on the Test Screen. When you press the key once, the network function test will become the "ON" Condition; that is, TX count is going to increase quickly (in a single station). If more than one station is running DIAG with network function test "ON" on your network system (multiple stations), then RX count will also increase quickly to reflect the real network traffic. When any of the diagnosis tests results in a "FAIL" remark, your screen will state the possible causes of the malfunction and offer some advice on solving the problem. 4. Test Fail Messages Possible results and suggested solutions for the diagnostics test are listed below : Failure results and suggested solutions of the diagnostics tests are listed below : ========================================================================== � Test Result � Suggested Solution � ========================================================================== � Configuration � 1. Check PCI BIOS setup for PCI adapter. � � Test Fail � 2. Contact your dealer. � ========================================================================== � I/O Test Fail � 1. Check the parameters for PCI adapter in BIOS� � � setup to see if they are correct or not. � � � 2. Check if you are now running � � � EMM386.EXE. If your EMM386.EXE � � � has a version earlier than 4.49 � � � or the HIGHSCAN flag is in use, � � � it can not properly handle � � � DWORD accesses and may cause � � � the I/O Test to fail. � � � 3. Contact your dealer. � ========================================================================== � ID Test Fail � 1. ID checksum error. � � � 2. Contact your dealer. � ========================================================================== � Internal Loopback � 1. Contact your dealer. � � Test Fail � � ========================================================================== � External Loopback � 1. Check your cables, connectors � � Test Fail � and terminators(Coaxial cables). � � � 2. Check if you have selected the right � � � medium type. � � � 3. Check if you are using a cross-over cable. � � � If you use cross-over cable, you may not � � � pass the external loopback test, yet you � � � can bypass this test by pressing ENTER key. � � � 4. Contact your dealer. � ========================================================================== � Interrupt Test � 1. Check IRQ setting for the PCI � � Fail � configuration of your computer. � � � 2. Check your cables, connectors and � � � terminators (Coaxial cables). � � � 3. Check your BIOS configuration Setting, � � � re-setup your Adapter. � � � 4. Contact your dealer. � ========================================================================== � Network Function � 1. Check cables, connectors, and board � � Test : � connections. � � Receive Test Fail � 2. Re-install the adapter board. � � (Rx packet count � 3.
