INSTALLATION

Board Installation

Your ZNYX NetBlaster adapter may be installed in a system in any PCI bus-mastering slot.

The following steps will guide you through installation. Some steps in this procedure may vary depending on the specific system used. Refer to your system’s documentation if necessary.

Important Note: All multi-channel NetBlaster adapters must be installed into computer systems that support PCI-PCI bridges. Your vintage 486based server may not support these ZNYX adapters.

1. Power off your computer.

2. Unplug the AC power cable from the outlet.

3. Use proper static precautions. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching the metal case or by using an anti-static wrist strap.

4. Insert the adapter into an available 32-bit PCI slot.

5. Secure the card with the screw.

6. To install additional adapters into the same computer, repeat steps 1 through 5.

7. Install the network cable (see the next section for details)

8. Re-install the AC power cord and turn your computer on.

Tip: It may be advisable to proceed without replacing the system enclosure's cover.

Some of the diagnostic LEDs may only be visible with the cover off.

Once these steps are completed, the network connections can be made and the software drivers must be installed.

Driver Installation

After you have successfully secured your adapter to the system, you can begin installing the driver (see separate documentation). Attach all Ethernet cables before you begin. See the

Hardware Installation section in this manual for further cable requirements.

Download the specific driver and applicable release notes for your system from the ZNYX

Networks web site (www.znyx.com).

Network Connections

The NetBlaster adapter provides one (ZX345), two (ZX348) to four (ZX346) RJ45 network connectors. Each connector independently supports either 10BaseT, 10BaseT Full Duplex,

100BaseTX, or 100BaseTX Full Duplex. All these network media types are used with the same Category 5 four-conductor twisted pair cable. Category 3 cable may be used with



10BaseT and 10BaseT Full Duplex only. Each cable may be attached to any of the RJ45 sockets.

There are two types of attachments that can be made, each requiring a different type of cable:

Cable Type Other End of Connection

Notes

Straight Hub or switch with the MDI-X connection.

Do not plug into a port marked "uplink" or MDI.

Some hubs and switches provide a few ports with selections to make them type MDI for uplinks and daisychaining.

Crossover

(or Null)

Directly to another PC's network adapter.

Direct PC-PC connections, without an intervening hub or switch.

The wiring for a straight cable is simply pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc. Pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not used. The wiring for a crossover (or null) cable is shown in the table below.

Wiring Guidelines

For 100BaseTX (Fast Ethernet) and 10BaseT (Ethernet)

•

All cables must be Category 5 (or better).

•

Maximum distance is 100 meters.

•

Only 1, 2, 3 and 6 are used.

•

Pins 1 - 2 should use the same twisted pair; 3 - 6 should use the same twisted pair.

Network connections may be made at any time during installation or system operation. If recabling the network becomes necessary, during system operation, care should be taken not to interrupt any current network sessions that may be active.

The selection of the media speed and duplex mode is made either automatically by the autonegotiation protocol or manually through management interface. In most cases, it is best to let the auto-negotiation protocol supported by the adapter to select the media speed and type. It will attempt to make connections in the following order.

1. 100 Mbps, Full Duplex

2. 100 Mbps, Half Duplex

3. 10 Mbps, Full Duplex

4. 10 Mbps, Half Duplex

If none of the above works, no link will be established.



TROUBLESHOOTING

Hardware Diagnostics

1.

Restart your computer in DOS mode.

At the command prompt, run the diagnostic program that came with your adapter. For example:

Adapter

NetBlaster ZX345

Diagnostic Program diag345.exe

Type This diag345 list

NetBlaster ZX345Q diag345q.exe

diag345q list

NetBlaster ZX346

NetBlaster ZX346Q diag346.exe

diag346q.exe

diag346 list diag346q list

NetBlaster ZX348

NetBlaster ZX348Q diag348.exe

diag348q.exe

diag348 list diag348q list

For example, if you have a NetBlaster ZX346Q, then run this command from DOS: diag346q list

You will see a report listing the current status of each active PCI device on your host computer's PCI bus. Note the bus and device numbers corresponding to your adapter. You will need these numbers when installing your software driver.

Note: If you do not see the listing, you will need to initialize your adapter using the following command: ppbinit all to initialize the PCI-PCI bridge chip in your host computer system. This utility is supplied on your driver diskette.

2.

To test an adapter, use your adapter's diagnostic program and specify the bus and device numbers; see the list command (above).

For example, if your four-channel NetBlaster ZX346Q is on bus 1, the device numbers may be 4, 5, 6 and 7. To test all four channels, your commands would be: diag346q 1 4 diag346q 1 5



diag346q 1 6 diag346q 1 7

3. When your testing is completed, the program will report each time, proceed with the software installation. If the diagnostic program does not indicate a successful completion, continue to the troubleshooting section (next).

Basic Troubleshooting

For all operating systems, try the following if you are having difficulty.

1. Make sure the adapter is securely seated into its slot.

2. Check the green LINK LEDs. This status indicator (one per channel) will be on whenever there is an active network link. The network cable must be directly attached to a hub, switch, router or similar system. The amber activity LEDs (one per channel) are on only when transmitting or receiving data.

3. Try another network cable. A faulty cable is common.

4. Try a different network port on the network switch or hub.

5. Refer to your operating system documentation to correct any error messages or logs when the adapter's driver is being loaded.
