Ethernet Software Configuration
The PCA-6145B’s on-board Ethernet interface supports all major
network operating systems. I/O addresses and interrupts are
easily configured via the DIAG 9008.EXE program. To execute the
configuration, to view the current configuration, or to run
diagnostics, do the following:
1. Power the PCA-6145B on. Ensure that the DIAG 9008.EXE file is
located in the working drive.
2. At the prompt type DIAG 9008.EXE and press <Enter>. The
Ethernet configuration program will then be displayed.
3. This simple screen shows all the available options for the
Ethernet interface. Just highlight the option you wish to
change by using the Up and Down keys. To change a selected
item, press <Enter>, and a screen will appear with the avail-
able options. Highlight your option and press <Enter>. Each
highlighted option has a helpful message guide displayed at the
bottom of the screen for additional information.
4. After you have made your selections and are certain it is the
configuration that you want, press ESC. A prompt will appear
asking if you want to save the configuration. Press Y if you
want to save.
The Ethernet Setup Menu also offers three very useful diagnostic
functions. These are:
1. Run EEPROM test
2. Run Diagnostics on Board
3. Run Diagnostics on Network
Each option has its own display screen which shows the format
and result of any diagnostic tests undertaken.
Note: Ethernet cannot use IRQ12. Because IRQ12 is as-
signed to PS/2 Mouse.
