The Setup Program

The LFE-8139ATX NIC package includes a diskette containing a setup program. This

program provides you to verify the configuration and suspect the isolation of faults. The ‘setup

new configuration’ option allows you to change the configuration parameters for the NIC to fit

the specific environment in which the NIC is installed.

The adapter’s I/O port address and interrupt request level (IRQ) are set by the BIOS. Other

default settings can be changed for these situations as below shown.

This program provides the following functions:

♦ Displays the current configuration of the adapter.

♦ Lets you set up the NIC in the computer while specifying parameters for a different

computer.

♦ Performs network diagnostic tests to verify the operation of the adapter basic functions,

and the adapter ability to communicate over the network with another adapter.

♦ Helps you to check the power management function.
