Troubleshooting
Diagnostic Self Test (MS-DOS only)
Intel provides a DOS-based self test diagnostics program. This program,
located on the PRO/100 CardBus adapter Network Drivers Disk, tests
several PRO/100 CardBus adapter functions. It also reports test results, the
serial number of the unit, and the node address. M32ATEST can only be
run from an MS-DOS command line.
This utility is intended to be a diagnostic tool in troubleshooting PRO/100
CardBus adapter configuration errors. It is designed to be simple to use and
understand, yet provide valuable technical information. The program can
run without a PRO/100 CardBus adapter, or even a CardBus machine, and
still provide some functionality. The program is dynamic. This means cards
can be inserted and removed at any time. Multiple cards can be tested and
different configurations can be tested. M32ATEST.EXE can run in a DOS
box in Windows, or Windows 95.
Executing the Self Test
Use the following steps to execute the self test.
1 Install the PRO/100 CardBus adapter according to the instructions
contained in Chapter 1, Hardware Installation in this User’s
Guide.
2 Start your computer from DOS. DO NOT load a network driver.
NOTE:
Do not run M32ATEST with a network driver loaded. Loading a network driver
before running M32ATEST may cause unpredictable results when exiting the test
utility.
3 Run the diagnostic test by typing M32ATEST at the MS-DOS
prompt, then press Enter. For example,
M32ATEST
NOTE:
If an error message displays when you execute the self test, see “Error Messages”
later in this chapter.
