INSTALLATION

2.10 TROUBLESHOOTING CHECK LIST FOR ADAPTERS

Make sure the adapter is installed and properly seated in the PC chassis connector.

On the adapter, if the coax port is used it is necessary to have a T and terminator attached to it.

If the adapter does not initialize, verify that the bus slot is operational by swapping the adapter with an adapter that you know is functioning.

Try swapping the adapter with a known working adapter.

The interrupt, I/O address or memory parameters could be conflicting with another adapter. Use a program like “Check- It” to determine what settings are currently in use by other adapters.

Verify that the cable is attached to the media port that you want to use.

If a connection to a server or another host cannot be maintained, check the cable first with a TDR or pair scanner. After verifying the cable, check the device that you are trying to communicate with. Verify that you can ping it or that other clients can contact it.

2.11 SOFTWARE CHECK LIST

Cabletron supplies different drivers for use with different operating systems. Make sure that you are using the correct driver and that the I/O hardware jumper agrees with the software I/O setting that you selected.

If you are using Novell NetWare, Cabletron supplies a direct IPX and a packet driver IPX. Make sure you are using the correct IPX.COM file.
