1.0 General SETUP Options
-------------------------

    The SETUP.EXE program is responsible for configuring and confirming
    the functionality of the Linksys Ether16 Family Ethernet Adapters.

    To run this program, execute one of the following commands:

      SETUP
      SETUP /D
      SETUP /F

    1.1 No Option
    -------------
        SETUP runs the standard setup. Running the program without
        switches will cover almost all situations. SETUP will allow
        changes to all hardware settings and diagnose most problems
        with the Linksys Ether16 Family Ethernet Adapters.

    1.2 /D Option
    -------------
        SETUP /D allows the adapter to be setup non-interactive. This
        allows remote batch changes or to ease a multiple card setup.
        The SETUP program will load the configuration values from a
        SETUP.DAT text file. SETUP.DAT needs to be in the same directory
        as SETUP.EXE.

        Example SETUP.DAT file:
        
        Connector Type   UTP     ---> This sets the media type
        I/O Base Address 0x300   ---> This sets the I/O base address
        Interrupt Number 5       ---> This sets the IRQ number
        ROM Size         16k     ---> This sets the boot ROM size
        ROM Address      0xD0000 ---> This specifies the boot ROM address
        PNP              Enable  ---> This enables the PnP function
        FullDuplex       Enable  ---> This enables the full duplex function
                                      (Ether16 revision D1 above only)

        NOTES:
        
        The PnP function is only used with PnP-compliant adapters.
        SETUP/D only affects the parameters that are specified in the
        SETUP.DAT file; other configuration parameters will remain
        unchanged.
        
        If the SETUP.DAT file specifies any parameter settings related to
        the boot ROM, the boot ROM will be automatically enabled. Otherwise,
        it is disabled.
        
        If the connector type is not specified, the driver will try to
        automatically detect a cable attached to it's media port(s).

    1.3 /F Option
    -------------
        SETUP/F is to be used only if the adapter cannot configured
        by setup. In some cases using this function can permanently
        disable the card. Other trouble shooting options should exausted
        including contacting support before it is used.

    2.2 Menu for Setup/Diagnostic Program
    -------------------------------------
        The SETUP main menu provides three options:

        SetUp Configuration
        - This option allows you to manually specify configuration values
          for the adapter.

        Adapter Basic Diagnostics
        - This option performs a diagnostic test on the adapter
          components.

        Network Diagnostics
        - This option allows you to test the connectivity of the adapter
          on the network.

        SETUP also lets you view the current adapter configuration,
        including:

        Viewed items: Your Current Configuration
                    <1> Node ID
                    <2> Bus Mode

        Select the Setup Configuration option to manually configure your
        adapter.

                    Remote Boot ---------> Disabled         
                   

          The Connector Type field allows specification of the adapter's
          media port that will be used in its network connection.

          The I/O Base Address field allows specification of the I/O base
          address on the adapter.

          The Interrupt Number field allows specification of the IRQ
          number on the adapter.

          The Plug and Play field allows enabling or disabling of the PnP
          function on the adapter. This field only appears on the Ether16
          series of adapters.

          The Full Duplex field allows enabling or disabling of the Full
          Duplex function on the adapter. This field only appears on the
          Ether16 series of adapters.

          The Remote Boot field allows you to use the remote boot function
          of the adapter. This however requires that you install a boot
          ROM chip on the provided socket on the adapter.

          The Boot ROM Address field allows specification of the starting
          address for the Boot ROM. This field only appears when the
          Boot ROM function is enabled.

          The Boot ROM Size field specifies the boot ROM size (in K). This
          field only appears when the Boot ROM function is enabled.

        The Adapter Basic Diagnostics option checks the major components
        on the adapter and network cable to ensure proper operation.

        Select Network Diagnostics to perform a live transmission test for
        checking the adapter's network connectivity. This test requires that
        LSL.COM, ETHER.COM and IPXODI.COM be located on the same directory
        as the Setup program.

                     Network Diagnostic ͻ

                     Set up as a slave station  
                    ͼ

          The Network Diagnostics option tests the ability of the adapter
          to communicate with other stations on the network. This test
          requires one master station and one slave station. The master
          station is responsible for sending test packets to the network.
          The slave station is responsible for sending back these packets
          to the master station. There is good connectivity if all the
          packets sent by the master were able to come back.

          Before running this test, ensure to copy first LSL.COM,
          IPXODI.COM, ETHER.COM and NET.CFG to the same directory where
          the Setup program resides. Also, ensure that the slave and
          master stations use the same frame type specified in the net.cfg
          file. We provide everything you need in the \SETUP directory.
          To set up a station as master, select "Set up as a master
          station". To set up the other station as slave, select "Set up
          as a slave station".

          When you start the test, these messages appear on each station:
