Viewing Configuration Parameters
To view system configuration parameters, select System Config from the View menu. The
configuration information is grouped into three categories. To view specific information,
click on the PCMCIA, System or Network button.

Modifying Configuration Parameters
To modify PCMCIA configuration parameters, select Configure PCMCIA from the
Configure menu. The same Hardware Setup screen which appears during the installation
process appears. Follow the instructions in the 'Hardware Setup Parameters' section to
modify these parameters.

Modifying the Network Speed
Token Ring networks operate at a speed of either 16 Mbps or 4 Mbps. To modify the
Network Speed of your SPT adapter, select Network speed from the Configure menu. The
same Network Speed screen which appears during the installation process appears. Follow
the instructions in the 'Setting the Network Speed' section to modify this parameter.

Testing the Adapter
The adapter testing utility automatically performs the following tests:

Configuration Test
PCMCIA Tuples Test
Token Ring Basic Test

If a test fails, the computer stops running all other tests and displays details about the
failure.
Under normal operating conditions, there is no need to run the test program. The tests
should be run if you encounter problems during or after the installation of the Token Ring
PCMCIA card adapter drivers. The program has been designed to detect conflicts
originating from either the Token Ring PCMCIA Card, or the host computer.
To test the adapter functions of the Token Ring PCMCIA card, select Start Testing from
the Test menu.
The same Test screen which appears during the installation process appears. Follow the
instructions in the 'Running Tests' section, for displaying the test results.

Note: If you attempt to run tests when a network driver is loaded, an error message
appears and the tests will not run.
