1.  The ACCTON PCI Network Adapters Testing Program - ACCTEST

The ACCTON Hardware Driver Disk includes a network testing program
called ACCTEST. Run this program to check if your adapter is properly
installed. The ACCTEST program works for the following PCI LAN
adapters:

	Ŀ
	   Product Name	    Product Number   
	Ĵ
	 EtherDuo PCI		       EN1203	     
	 Fast EtherCombo-TX PCI       EN1207	     
	 Fast EtherPair-TX PCI        EN1207-TX     
				    or EN1207B-TX    
	


This ACCTEST 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 ACCTEST, you need at least two workstations, each with an
installed  PCI Fast Ethernet or  any  ACCTON  Ethernet	Adapter.
You  should  run  the  program	in  both workstations, one after
the other.   If you want  to  test  100Mbps  Fastnet  operation,
you  must  have at least two workstations each with an installed
EN1207(-TX) Adapter.


3.   Running the ACCTEST Program

Insert the ACCTON EN1203, EN1207(-TX) Series PCI Network Adapter
Driver Diskette into drive A:, then type:

	 A:\> ACCTEST  <Enter>


----------------------------------------------------------------------

3.0. Each time you enter ACCTEST program, the program first finds out
     all Accton's PCI adapters on your PC.  If your PC does not
     support PCI BIOS, or there is no Accton's PCI adapter on your PC,
     then  the	program  will  show you an error message.  Otherwise,
     ACCTEST  will  display  information  of  all Accton's PCI
     adapters  (at most 4)  on	your  PCI  machine.  Each  adapter's
     information is consisted of adapter no., Ethernet address, IRQ used,
     I/O port used, and a predefined medium type (AUTO or Auto-Negotiation,
     means media-type AUTO-sensing).  You can use UP, DOWN arrow keys to
     select the adapter for testing, or use RIGHT, LEFT arrow keys to select
     the media-type.
     EN1203 PCI Ethernet adapter supports three media-types:

	1. AUTO
	2. TP
	3. BNC;

     while EN1207 PCI Fastnet adapter supports four media-types;
     they are:

	1. AUTO
	2. TP 100Mbps
	3. TP  10Mbps
	4. BNC 10Mbps;

     and EN1207-TX Series has five kinds of medium types:

	  1. Auto Negotiation
	  2. TP  10Mbps
	  3. TP 100Mbps
	  4. TP  10Mbps Full Duplex
	  5. TP 100Mbps Full Duplex

     Finally, you must press ENTER to confirm the selected adapter for
     entering the test procedure, or press ESC to exit the ACCTEST program.


3.1. After you selected an adapter, then Testing Report showing the
     result of each test conducted appears on your screen.  The test
     results are indicated by a 'PASS' or 'FAIL' remark.


3.2. This screen will present you with a Testing Report to indicate the
     result if each test conducted.  The test results will be indicated
     by a 'PASS' or 'FAIL' remark.

There are three functional keys which could be used during execute
ACCTEST.EXE program, they are

	<F1>	To reset all counters which report the real
		network status.

	<F2>	To toggle the network function test ON or OFF.
		It is a toggle switch makes the network function
		test to be in reversed way.

	<ESC>	To terminate and return to the Adapter-Selection Screen.


The real network status report on this ACCTEST.EXE program including
TX count, RX count and two errors CRC and ALG are shown on the
Test Screen.  The Time that is accumulated by this program and
the  Performance which is calculated by this program are also
shown on the Test Screen.


After  you press the <F2> key once, the network function test now is
entering into the 'ON' condition, that is, TX count  is going to
increase quickly (single station).  And if there is more than one
station are running  ACCTEST with network function test 'ON' on your
network system multiple stations), then RX count is also increasing
quickly to reflect the real network traffic.


When any of a diagnosis test results to a 'FAIL' remark, your screen
will change to give you a description of the malfunction and at the
same time also give you some advices to solve that problem.


4.   Test Fail Messages

Possible results and suggested solutions for the diagnostics test
are listed below :

ͻ
     Test Result    		 Suggested Solution	    
͹
  Configuration     	1. Check PCI BIOS setup about PCI   
  Test Fail	     	   adapter .			    
		     	2. Contact your dealer or ACCTON    
		     	   Technology Corporation.	    
͹
  I/O Test Fail     	1. Check the parameter with PCI     
		     	   adapter in BIOS setup is correct 
		     	   or not.			    
		     	2. Check if you are now running     
		     	   EMM386.EXE.	If your EMM386.EXE  
		     	   has a version earlier than 4.49, 
		     	   it can not handle properly	    
		     	   DWORD accesses and may cause     
		     	   the I/O Test to fail.	    
		     	3. Contact your dealer or ACCTON    
		     	   Technology Corporation.	    
͹

		     	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 pass this test just press    
		     	   ENTER key.			    
		     	4. Contact your dealer or ACCTON    
		     	   Technology Corporation.	    
͹

	 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 or ACCTON

  (Rx packet count  	3. Reset the stations and run the   
   not running)     	   ACCTEST program in various	    
		     	   sequence to decide which	    
		     	   adapter board is defective.
