   Configure    Configures an adapter in one of three ways:
                1. Automatically with /auto parameter
                2. Using a specified adapter configuration file
                3. Using command-line configuration parameters

   Echoserver   Enables a designated adapter to function within the echo
                server.

   Help         Displays general or command-specific help information. To
                get command-specific help, type:

                   3C59XCFG Help [command keyword]

   Language     Invokes the program in full Windows mode using a specified
                external resource file. This option provides support for
                multiple languages via a different resource file for each
                language supported.

   List         Displays a list of installed adapters recognized by this
                program and their assigned adapter numbers.

   Run          Runs the diagnostic tests (which can also be specified
                from a file) on a selected adapter and writes the results
                to the screen, a file, or a printer.

CONFIGURATION
=============

The adapter can be configured in one of the following four ways, which are
described in greater detail below:

 - Full-Screen Windows Mode
 - Command Line with Auto Configuration
 - Command Line with Explicit Parameters
 - Command Line with Configuration File

   Full Screen Windows Mode
   ------------------------

   To configure the adapter using the full-screen windowing, type

      3C59XCFG

   and press ENTER. Then click Configure Adapter on the Install menu.

   Command Line Options
   --------------------

   Defaults: Configure has /Auto and /Adapternum:1 as defaults. For
   example, if only "3C59XCFG Configure" is used, adapter 1 will be
   automatically configured.

   /Adapternum:<N> specifies the adapter number to be configured for PCI
   and EISA computers. Run the LIST command separately to determine the
   adapter number to use here.

   /Slot:<S> specifies the physical slot number of the adapter to be
   configured in EISA computers.

   NOTE: The /Adapternum:<N> and /Slot:<S> parameters can be used with any
   of the Configure options that follow. They are both intended for use
   whenever multiple adapters are present in the computer and recognized by
   the Configuration and Diagnostic Program.

   Command Line with Auto Configuration
   ------------------------------------

   Command syntax: 3C59XCFG Configure /Auto

   The /Auto parameter configures the adapter to automatically select the
   media type. All other option settings are left unchanged.

   NOTE: To set the media type, the program will attempt to detect what
   media type is being used. Therefore, you should connect to the network
   first, then run /Auto, and it will configure the media type for you.

   Command Line with Explicit Parameters
   -------------------------------------

   Command syntax:  3C59XCFG Configure [/Bsize:<N> /Xcvr:<N> /Tr:<N>
                    /Fullduplex:<N> /Optimize:<N> /Linkbeat:<N>]

   Command-line configuration parameters are used to configure the adapter
   using only the option settings you specify. Some parameters are for all
   adapters, while others are for PCI only. For example, /Bsize:<N> is a
   PCI- only parameter, because with EISA adapters, the computer vendor's
   configuration utility or the option disk handles the setting of the Boot
   PROM size. In most cases, any combination of parameters can be used.
   Therefore, it is possible to modify only a few settings if needed. See
   below for a list of parameters.

      Parameter       Description
      ---------------------------

      /Bsize          Boot PROM Size (PCI only).
                      Possible values - 8, 16, 32, 64, Disabled.

      /Tr (or /Xcvr)  Transceiver (PCI only).
                      Possible values - 100BASE-TX, Tp, 10BASE-T (same as
                      Tp), Coax, Aui, External (same as Aui).

      /Optimize       Network Driver Optimization.
                      Possible values - Normal, Network, Cpu.

      /Linkbeat       Link beat enable/disable (pre-10BASE-T standard
                      only).
                      Possible values - Enabled, Disabled.

                      NOTE: Try this setting ONLY if pre-10BASE-T standard
                      hubs are in use.

      /Fullduplex     Full duplex enable or disable (for 10BASE-T only).
                      Possible values - Enabled, Disabled.

                      NOTE: Enable this setting ONLY when the adapter is
                      connected to a 10BASE-T repeater supporting full
                      duplex.
                      Otherwise, it will bring down the network.

   Command Line with Configuration File
   ------------------------------------

   Command syntax: 3C59XCFG Configure /Configfile:<filename>

   This syntax is used to configure an adapter with the settings specified
   in an ASCII configuration file that can be created and modified by any
   text editor. The file name can be a fully qualified MS-DOS file name
   including a path. A standard format for the file must be used, as
   follows:

    - Variable names and values should match the wording in the full-screen
      configuration window in most cases.

    - Each variable or value line should begin with an "at" symbol (@),
      followed by a variable name, a colon (:), and the value.

      For example: @Media type: 100BASE-TX

    - Any comment lines should start with a semicolon (;).

    - Blank lines and other white space is allowed between variable lines.

    - The variable names allowed are:

         Boot PROM size
         Media type
         Network driver optimization
         Full Duplex
         Link beat

    - The values allowed are the same as those shown in the full-screen
      configuration window.

      Example 1: @Network driver optimization:Normal
      Example 2: @Media type:On-board Coax

DIAGNOSTICS
===========

 - Full screen Windows mode:

   To run the diagnostic tests using full-screen windowing, type
   "3C59XCFG" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. Then click Run Tests on
   the Tests menu.

 - Command-line option:

   Command syntax: 3C59XCFG Run [/Testfile:<filename>]
   [/RESULTS:[<filename> | PRN | PRNHP]] [/ADAPTERNUM:<N> | /SLOT:<S>]

   The Run parameter runs the diagnostic tests on a selected adapter
   and displays the results on the screen. The defaults are Adapter 1 and
   Group 1 tests. The parameters below are all optional.

      /Testfile:<filename> specifies a test file that contains a specific
      test setup description.

      /Results:[<filename> or PRN or PRNHP] specifies an alternative
      location to store the test results. This location can be an MS-DOS
      path and filename, PRN printer port (same as LPT1), or PRNHP, which
      is an HP LaserJet printer connected to LPT1.

      /Adapternum:<N> specifies the adapter number to be tested, in the
      case of multiple adapters installed in the computer and recognized by
      this program. Run the List command separately (see List below) to
      determine the adapter number to use.

      /Slot:<S> specifies the physical slot number of the adapter to be
      tested when multiple adapters are installed in EISA computers.

OTHER COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
==========================

 - Help

   Command syntax: 3C59XCFG Help [Command Keyword]

   Help is an online summary of commands. Without a command keyword, it
   gives a summary of the command keywords. With a command keyword
   specified, it gives the parameter choices for that particular command.
   For example, "3C59XCFG Help Configure" gives details about the parameter
   options for the Configure command.

 - Language

   Command syntax: 3C59XCFG Language /Langfile:<filename>

   Language invokes the program in full Windows mode using a specified
   external resource file. This option provides support for multiple
   languages via a different resource file for each language supported.

   This command requires the /Langfile:<filename> parameter. The
   file name is the name of the resource file that is loaded by the
   program. The file name can be a fully qualified MS-DOS file name.

   NOTE: At this time, there are no alternate resource files included on
   the EtherDisk disk.

 - List

   Command syntax: 3C59XCFG List

   List displays a list of currently installed adapters (and their assigned
   adapter numbers) that are recognized by this program. The adapter number
   is then used as the <N> value for the /Adapternum:<N> parameter when
   multiple adapters are installed. There are no parameters associated with
   the List command keyword.

 - Echoserver

   Command syntax: 3C59XCFG Echoserver [/Adapternum:<N> | /Slot:<S>]

   Echoserver enables an adapter to function within an echo server.
   In the case of multiple adapters, /Adapternum:<N> specifies the adapter
   number to be configured in the echo server. The /Slot:<S> parameter is
   available only on EISA computers, and refers to the physical slot in the
   echo server where the adapter is located.

FURTHER ASSISTANCE
