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
NetBlaster ZX345	diag345.exe	diag345 list
NetBlaster ZX345Q	diag345q.exe	diag345q list
NetBlaster ZX346	diag346.exe	diag346 list
NetBlaster ZX346Q	diag346q.exe	diag346q list
NetBlaster ZX348	diag348.exe	diag348 list
NetBlaster ZX348Q	diag348q.exe	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
