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 486-  
based 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  
ZX340Q Series User Guide  
Page 4  
 
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:  
Notes  
Cable Type  
Straight  
Other End of Connection  
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 daisy-  
chaining.  
Crossover  
(or Null)

adapter. 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 re-  
cabling 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 auto-  
negotiation 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  
Diagnostic Program  
Type This  
diag345 list  
NetBlaster ZX345  
diag345.exe  
diag345q list  
diag346 list  
diag346q list  
diag348 list  
diag348q list  
NetBlaster ZX345Q  
NetBlaster ZX346  
NetBlaster ZX346Q  
NetBlaster ZX348  
NetBlaster ZX348Q  
diag345q.exe  
diag346.exe  
diag346q.exe  
diag348.exe  
diag348q.exe  
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  
ZX340Q Series User Guide  
Page 7  
 
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.
