5-7. LED Indicators
The system board comes with two LED indicators on the edge of the motherboard that
indicates the network system status. If you experience any problems with the adapter, first
make sure the appropriate driver is loaded, the proper cable is connected to the RJ-45 port
and the hub complies with the adapter specification, such as 10Mbps 10Base-T or 100Mbps
100Bast-TX. Finally, recheck the LEDs.
FUDUP (Full Duplex) Indicator
When indicator is ON, it indicates Full-duplex mode: otherwise, it is OFF. The adapter
supports full duplex at 10 or 100Mbps. If the switch-hub supports the N-way feature and full
duplex, the system automatically runs in full duplex mode.
Tx/Rx (Transmit/Receiver) Indicator
This indicator flashes to display that there is network activity – indicating transmission or
reception data from the network.
5-8. The Setup Program
The package includes a diskette containing the setup program. This program allows you to
verify the configuration and isolation of faults.
The adapter’s I/O port address and interrupt request levels (IRQ) are set by the BIOS. Other
default settings can be changed for situations as shown below.
Problem (RESET8139.exe) provides the following function:
•
Displays the current configuration of the adapter
•
Performs network diagnostic tests to verify the operation of the adapters basic
functions, and the adapters ability to communicate over the network with another
adapter.
•
Provides set up for new configuration to make a change specify settings: Remote
BOOT ROM, Flow Control and Full-Duplex mode Enable/or Disable
Full duplex operation is set automatically if the Full-duplex option is set to Disable. Please
follow the prompt instructions to set-up or change the system configuration.

The ENDAT-3201M/MF/MH
Embedded CPU Board
Note:
Before running the setup program, make sure the adapter’s driver is not
loaded, otherwise unpredictable results may arise!
The setup program can be set the on board configuration to provide diagnostic testing. It is
for testing the basic function verification, EEPROM data Access, loop back operation, and
the ability to communicate over the network with another adapter.
To access this program, insert the Driver Diskette into the floppy disk drive and then type the
following at the DOS prompt:
¾
A:\REST8139.EXE <ENTER>
1. View Current Configuration
This allows you to find the PCI Fast Ethernet adapter current configuration in your
system.
2. Set Up New Configuration
Select New Set Up Configuration option from the main menu
The option settings can be changed, the table shown as below:
Option Default Setting Other Available Settings
Full-duplex Disabled
Æ
Auto Selection Enable – Forces to full duplex operation
Flow Control TX Enable, RX Enable TX Disable, RX Disable
Note:
Before setting the adapter for full duplex, make sure the hub switch is also
set to full duplex. Before you activate the switching hub to server
connection, make sure the hub switch and adapter are configured for full
duplex.
3. Run Diagnostics
Running diagnostic tests perform basic function verification for on board LAN adapters.
The basic Diagnostic tests include:
•
EEPROM Test
: EEPROM data read/write test
•
Diagnostics On Board
: Performs on board basic function verification
•
Diagnostics On Network
: To run this test on the network, you will need another
computer set up as a Responder to receive packets from the adapter being tested and echo
