 INTRODUCTION 


 The RLASET utility provides the following options:


          Ŀ
                Auto Configuration        
                Manual Configuration      
                Exit                      
          


Auto Configuration

Selecting this option, RLASET automatically configure the card based on 
current PC configuraton. 
On top of this, RLASET also checks whether the PnP BIOS of the PC is 
functioning correctly.

Depending on the type of motherboard and its configuration, RLASET will 
automatically configure the card as follows:-

  PC without PnP BIOS -- RL2000A-PNP will be configured to Non-PnP mode.
                         The IO base address and IRQ setting saved are
                         a set of free settings selected during the
                         configuration process.

  PC with PnP BIOS -- RL2000A-PNP will be configured to PnP mode.

  PC with PnP BIOS but with } -- Will be configured the same way as
  incomplete PnP functions  }    PC without PnP BIOS.
			
  If you answer YES to "Install for Windows 95" then RL2000A-PNP will
  be configure to PnP mode.


Manual Configuration

Selecting the Manual Option lets you manually configure RL2000A-PNP
with specific setup to suit your requirement.

The Manual Option menu, provides the following options described below.


 1) VIEW CURRENT CONFIGURATION
 
    Use this option to view the current configuration of the card
    User can view the Operating Mode, Ethernet Address, Cable Type,
    I/O Address, IRQ, Boot ROM Address of the adpater.


 2) CUSTOM SETUP
 
    Use this option to manually change the hardware settings. In the
    option, user can change the Operation Mode, Cable Tyep, I/O Base
    Address, IRQ, etc.

  <Operating Mode>
     - Plug & Play Mode
       For the system with Plug & Play support, for example Plug & Play BIOS,
       Plug & Play Operation System, etc. The Plug & Play system can allocate
       system resources without intervention of user.

     - Non Plug & Play Mode
       For the system without Plug & Play support, the user require to manually
       configure the card's parameter, e.g I/O address, IRQ no ,etc.
     
     - AutoDetect Mode (For RL2000A Card only)
       If choose AutoDetect Mode, the card can automatically detect whether
       the system can support Plug & Play function or not, if support, the card 
       will run in Plug & Play Mode, otherwise, the card will run in 
       Non Plug & Play Mode.

  <Cable Type>
     The adapter can support the automatically detection of cable used.

  <I/O Base>
     For Non Plug & Play mode, it is required to configure the I/O base address
     of the adapter.

     The avaliable choices of I/O base address as follows:

        220H, 240H, 260H, 280H, 2A0H, 2C0H, 2E0H, 
        200H, 320H, 340H, 360H, 380H, 3A0H, 3C0H, 3E0H.

  <INTERRUPT>
     For Non Plug & Play mode, it is required to configure the interrupt number
     of the adapter.

     The avaliable choices of interrupt number as follows:

        3, 4, 5, 2, 10, 11, 12, 15

  <BOOT ROM>
    This option can configure the remote BOOT ROM size and address as follows:

          SIZE: 16K, 32K 
       ADDRESS: C000H - DE000H
	
  * Note: Due to inconsistancy of certain PnP BIOS it is recommended when
          installing a 32K size bootrom, configure the card to non-PnP mode.

              			
 3) DEFAULT SETUP
 
    Use this option to change the current hardware settings
    to default settings and rebuilt the PnP resourcce table.

    Default settings shown as follows:
            Operation Mode : AutoDetect Mode (For RL2000A Card only)
            Cable Type     : Auto Detect
            I/O Base       : 280H
            Interrupt      : 10
            Boot ROM       : Disabled


 4) RUN DIAGNOSTIC
 
   Run the diagnostic if you suspect a problem with the adapter.
   The diagnostic is consists of three tests:

    A) Diagnostic On Board Test
        - Test the on board function of the adapter.

    B) Diagnostic On Network Test
       The test requires at least two machines running RLASET program.
       One machine work as initator and the other machine works as respondor.
       The test simulates the real network environment. And the result
       and statistics of the test will display on the monitor.
