• \ENABLER\B22ENA10.EXE

You can also run the BS22ENA10.EXE program from the BayStack 22 PCMCIA Card Adapter Software & Documentation CD instead of copying

the program to your root directory.

Access a DOS prom pt s creen.

From the DOS prompt you must run the BS22ENA10.EXE program before installing the BaySta ck 22 network driver.

Enter the following syntax:

B22ENA10 [/IRQ:x][/IOP:xxx]

where:

• IRQ is the inter rupt number used specifically for the BayStack 22 network card. This number must not be used b y any other device in the system. The default IRQ value is 3.

• IOP is the star ting Input/Output (I/O) port address, in hexadecimal format. The BayStack 22 network card requires 32 consecutive free I/O port addresses. The default IOP value is 0x300.

206380-A

For example, the following command enables a BayStack 22 network card having an IRQ v al ue of 5 and an IOP value of 300:

B22ENA10 /IRQ:5 /IOP:300

This section describes the steps required to install the BayStack 22 network dr iver software on your Novell NetWa re 4.x laptop computer, or client. You must have already installe d a BayStack 22 PC Card Adapter in your lapt op.

To install the BayStack 22 network driver on your Novell NetWare 4.x client:

Verify that your BaySta c k 22 network card is properly installe d in your

Novell NetWare 4.x laptop. Insert the

BayStack 22 PCMCIA Card Adapter Software & Docu mentation

CD into your laptop. Access a DOS prom pt s creen.

From the DOS prompt you must run the BS22ENA10.EXE program before installing the BaySta ck 22 network driver.

206380-A

Software In stallatio n

Enter the following syntax:

B22ENA10 [/IRQ:x][/IOP:xxx]

where:

• IRQ is the inter rupt number used specifically for the BayStack 22

network card. This number must not be used b y any other device in the system. The default IRQ value is 3.

• IOP is the star ting input/output (I/O) port address, in hexidecimal

format. The BayStack 22 network card requires 32 consecutive free I/O port addresses. The default IOP value is 0x300.

For example, the following command enables a BayStack 22 network card having an IRQ v al ue of 5 and an IOP value of 300:

B22ENA10 /IRQ:5 /IOP:300

Note:

If you installed th e EMM386.EXE program in CONFI G. SYS, you must exclude the memory address range D000 to DFFF or D400 to D7FF in the EMM386.EXE program. The B22ENA10. EXE prog ram uses this memory address range to rea d conf igur ation infor mation from th e BayStack 22 ne twork card.

This chapter provides seve ral methods for trouble shooting problems related to the BayStack 2 2 PC Card A dap t er.

Diagnostic LEDs

Three LEDs on the media coupler of the BayStack 22 network card provide diagnostic infor mation. The 10 and 100 Mb/s Link LEDs indicate success ful network connectio ns to Ether net and F ast Ethe rnet de vi ces, respec ti ve ly. The Link LEDs remain steady if the connection is stable. You should check the RJ-45 connection if the LED is not steady. The Activity LED indicates acti ve network traffic.

Hardware Issues

Perform the following tasks to check for hardware problems:

• Verify that you are using the correct cables and the correct cable lengths, as

described in “Cable Requirements

• Make su re the media coupler is firmly connected to the network card and to a

network device.

• Use a dif ferent port on the network device.

• Verify that the BayStack 22 network card is fully and firmly sea ted in the slot

connector in the co mputer. Check the connector edges of the card for damage.

• Replace the network card in question with a network card that you are sure

functions properly. Run generic network interface card diagnostic tests.

• Inst all the network card in question into another computer and run the tests

again.

• Remo ve all other network cards from the computer and run the tests agai n.

If the verification/diagnostic run is not normal, there is probably an interrupt number conflict. You must manually resolve the conflict by running a CMOS Setup utility after you have reinstalled the expansion cards.

” on page 1-6.

Software Issues

Perform the following tasks to check for software problems:

• Verify that the proper driver is loaded, as explained in Chapter 3, “

Installation. ” Be s ure y ou foll o wed the dir ections f or t he ope rating sy ste m you

are running on the computer.

• Check that the new configurations match the configurations of the network

device if you have manually configured the speed or mode of the network card. Nortel Networks recommends setting the network card to autonegoti ation when installing the network driver.

• Verify that the PCMCIA slot in the computer is an enabled bus-master slot.

Some computers may require that you configure the PCMCIA slot to enable bus masterin g. Ref er to your computer manual for information about the PCMCIA BIOS setup program.

• Verify that your BIOS software correctly supports the PCMCIA Local Bus

Specifi cation, version 2.0 or later. Upgrade your BIOS software if needed.

4-2

Software

206380-A

Troubleshooting

• Deter mine whether or not the network card slot is deactivated at the BIOS

level. Use the CMOS Setup utility in your computer to provide the option to activate or deactivate slots.

• Disabl e the Plug and Play option (PnP) in the BIOS setup program if it is

recommended by your PC manual. Some computers may requir e you to perform this task. Incorrectly assigned resource s between network cards may cause problems.

Note:

Always consult your computer manual for information about changing motherboard jumper and BIOS settings. If you modify the BIOS settings, make sure the jumper and BIOS settings match.

• You may need to reserve interrupts and memory addresses for installed

Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) cards to prevent PCMCIA cards from using the same settings. Refer to your PC manual for instructions.
