Introduction

Welcome

to

the

DaynaPORT

family

of

Ethernet

products

for

Macintosh

computers.

In

addition

to

incorporating

the

latest

innovations

in

high-speed

Ethernet

technology,

DaynaPORT

provides

an

Ethernet

solution

for

the

entire

Macintosh

family.

The

DaynaPORT

Pocket

SCSI/Link-T

and

Pocket

SCSI/Link-M

external

adapters

are

the

newest

members

of

the

DaynaPORT

family.

Their

revolutionary

design

makes

them

the

lightest

and

most

compact

external

network

adapters

available

for

Macintosh

networking.

Since

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link

uses

your

Macintosh's

SCSI

port

to

connect

to

an

Ethernet

network,

it's

the

ideal

network

connection

for

compact

systems,

such

as

the

Macintosh

Plus,

Classic, Classic

II,

and

portable

systems

with

no

internal

card

slot,

such

as

the

Macintosh

Portable,

PowerBook,

and

PowerBook

Duo.

Pocket

SCSI/Link's DB-25

and

HDI-30

SCSI

ports

support

SCSI

pass-through

and

let

you

easily integrate

Pocket

SCSI/Link

into

any

SCSI

chain.

Pocket

SCSI/Link

comes

with a single

HDI-30

system

cable

that

lets

you

connect

to

either

the

DB-25

SCSI

port

on

desktop

Macintosh

computers,

or

to

the

HDI-30

SCSI

port

on

PowerBook

and

Duo

computers.

The

DaynaPORT

SCSI/Link driver

works

with

all

current

Macintosh

operating

systems, from System 6.0.5

to

the

latest

version

of

System

7.

DaynaPORT

supports

both

AppleTalk

Phase 1 and

Phase

2

networking

protocols.

Once

you've

installed

the

DaynaPORT

software,

your

Macintosh

will

be

able

to

communicate

with

servers,

modems,

printers,

and

other

network

devices

on

an

Ethernet

cable

system.
DaynaPORT drivers

support

multiple

networking

protocols,

including TCP/IP, DECnet, IPX,

and

NCP. All DaynaPORT

products

support

AppleTalk

Connection

for Macintosh

and

TCP/IP

Connection

for Macintosh,

Apple's

new

Simple

Network

Management

Protocol

(SNMP)

agents

for

the

Macintosh.

Installing

and

Connecting

Pocket

SCSI/Link

Pocket

SCSI/Link

adapters

offer a

quick

and

easy

way

to

connect

any

Macintosh

computer

with a SCSI

port

(that

is, Macintosh Plus

and

later

models)

to

an

Ethernet

network.

Pocket

SCSI/Link

is

particularly

well

suited

for

compact

Macintosh

models

such

as

the

PowerBook,

Classic, Portable,

and

Duo

that

don't

have

an

internal

card

slot

for

an

Ethernet

adapter.

Here's a step-by-step

summary

of

how

to

install

Pocket

SCSI/Link.

•

Make

sure

the

Macintosh

is

turned

off

• Set

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link's

SCSI

ID/Terrnination

switch

•

Connect

Pocket

SCSI/Link

to

the

SCSI

chain

•

Connect

Pocket

SCSI/Link

to

the

Ethernet

cable

system

•

Plug

in

Pocket

SCSI/Link

using

the

AC

adapter

or

ADB

power

cable

to

turn

it

on

• Switch

on

the

Macintosh

and

install

the

DaynaPORT

software

Pocket

SCSI/Link

models

come

with

an

HDI-30

SCSI

system

cable

that

supports

both

desktop

and

notebook

Macintosh

computers.

All

Pocket

SCSI/Links

have

a DB-25

SCSI

port

and

an

HDI-30

SCSI

port

that

let

you

connect

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link

as

either

the

first,

middle,

or

last

device

on a SCSI

chain.

Pocket

SCSI/Link

supports

System 6.0.5

and

later

and

is fully

System 7

compatible.

Pocket

SCSI/Link

supports

both

AppleTalk

Phase 1 and

Phase 2 protocols.

This

means

that

no

matter

how

large

your

network

becomes,

Pocket

SCSI/Link lets

your

Macintosh

access

any

Ethernet

network

service

from

any

zone.

Note-

If

you're

using

the Pocket SCSI/Link as the

only

device

on

a

PowerBook SCSI/Bus, refer to the

section

If

you're

using

a PowerBook

and

Pocket SCSI/Link

with

multiple SCSI

devices, refer to the PowerBook user's

guide

section

entitled

Checking

that

the

SCSI

The

Pocket

SCSI/Link

Device

The

top

of

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link

device

has

three

lights

representing

Power,

Activity,

and

Link Status.

The

lights

are

visible

as

three

bars

on

the

top

of

the

device.

The

longest

bar

is

the

green

power

light

that

comes

on

when

Pocket

SCSI/Link is initially

turned

on.

A flashing

power

light

indicates

an

error

condition.

The

green

link status light

in

the

middle

of

the

light

bars

indicates

that

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link-T RJ-45

port

is

connected

to

a lOBASE-T

cable

system

that

has

a valid

cable

connection

to a hub.

The

shortest

bar

is

the

amber

activity light

that

flashes as

data

is

transmitted

through

the

device.

The

front

of

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link-M

has a power

port,

a RJ-45

connector,

and a thin

Ethernet BNC

connector.

The

Pocket

SCSI/Link-T

has

a single RJ-45 jack

to

connect

to

a lOBASE-T

network.

Pocket

SCSI/Link-M

Front

View

The

back

of

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link

has

a single

switch

that

handles

SCSI

ID

selection

and

termination.

It

also

has

the

DB-25

and

HDI-

30

SCSI

ports

that

let

you

connect

to

your

Macintosh

SCSI

port

or

to

a

SCSI

bus.

Pocket

SCSI/Link

Back

View

Using

SCSI

Cables

with

Pocket

SCSI/link

Pocket

SCSI/Link

models

come

with

a single HDI-30

SCSI

cable

that

lets

you

connect

to

either a PowerBook

or

desktop

Macintosh. This

is

the

only

cable

you

need

to

connect a Pocket

SCSI/Link

to

any

type

of

Macintosh,

but

if

you

have a SCSI

chain

that

contains

additional

devices, you'll

need

the

kinds

of

cables

that

support

the

devices

on

your

SCSI

chain.

For

example,

if

you

want

to

connect

a

SCSI

device

with a 50-pin

connector

to

Pocket

SCSI/Link,

you'll

need

a HDI-30

cable

with a 50-pin

connector

or

a 25-pin-to-50-pin

SCSI

cable.

If

you

need

additional

SCSI cables,

you

can

obtain

them

from

your

local

supplier

or

contact

Dayna

Customer

Service for assistance.

Connecting

Pocket

SCSI/link

to

the

Macintosh

SCSI

Port

How

you

connect

Pocket

SCSI/Link

depends

on

whether

Pocket

SCSI/Link is

the

only, first,

middle,

or

last

SCSI

device

connected

to

your

Macintosh.

The

Pocket

SCSI/Link

must

be

part

of

a SCSI

chain

that

is

terminated

properly.

This

chapter

contains

installation

instructions for all

four

cases

and

describes

how

to

ensure

that

your

SCSI

chain

is

terminated

correctly.

Instal/ing

and

Connecting Pocket SCSI/Link 7

Caution-

Always

unplug

Pocket SCSI/Link to

turn

it

off

when

you

connect

or

disconnect

itfrom

your

Macintosh

or

any

other SCSI device. Never

connect

or

disconnect

Pocket SCSI/Link while

it

is

powered

on.

Doing so

could

damage

the circuits

in

Pocket SCSI/Link

or

other

connected

SCSI devices.

Setting

the

T ermination/ID

Switch

You

can

connect

up

to

six

external

SCSI

devices

to

your

Macintosh

through

its

SCSI

port.

Each

device,

including

Pocket

SCSI/Link,

must

have

its

own

SCSI

ID

number

for

your

Macintosh

to

know

it's

there

and

distinguish it from

the

other

SCSI

devices.

If

it's

the

last

device

on a SCSI

bus,

the

device

must

also

be

terminated.

Pocket

SCSI/Link

handles

setting

both

the

SCSI

ID

and

termination

through

a single

switch

on

the

connector

side

of

the

device.

It

lets

you

choose

from

terminated

and

unterminated

SCSI

ID

numbers.

The

Pocket

SCSI/Link

comes

with

the

SCSI

ID

pre-set

to

a

terminated

SCSI

ID

of

3. If

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link is

the

last

device

in

a

SCSI

chain

or

the

only

SCSI

device,

do

not

adjust

the

SCSI

ID

or

termination. If

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link is

not

the

last

device

in a

SCSI

chain,

select

an

unterminated

SCSI

ID.

On

Pocket

SCSI/Link,

set

the

ID

number

and

termination

setting

using a screw

driver

or

similar

tool.

SCSI

Termination/ID

Switch

If

you

change

the

SCSI

and/or

termation

setting,

make

sure

you

turn

Pocket

SCSI/Link

off

and

back

on

again,

and

restart

your

Macintosh.
The

switch

settings

range

from °

to

7 for

both

the

terminated

and

unterminated

settings.

Your

Macintosh is always

identified

as

number

7. Most

Macintosh

internal

hard

drives

use a SCSI

ID

number

of

0,

but

non-Apple

drives

often

use

other

ID

numbers.

SCSI ID

numbers

2, 3, 4,

5,

and 6 are

generally

available.

If

Pocket

SCSI/Link is

the

only

SCSI

device

connected

to

your

Macintosh,

it

doesn't

matter

what

this

switch

setting

is, as

long

as

it's

not ° or

7.

You

can

leave

it

at

the

factory setting

of

3.

8 Chapter 1

If

there

are

other

SCSI

devices

connected

to

your

Macintosh,

you

must

find

out

the

number

of

each

and

set

the

SCSI

ID

of

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link

to

an

unused

number.

If

two

devices

have

the

same

number,

neither

will

work.

Remember

that

if

you

move

Pocket

SCSI/Link from

one

Macintosh

to

another,

you

may

need

to

change

the

SCSI

ID

number

each

time

if

there

are

other

SCSI

devices

attached.

Connecting

and

Terminating

Pocket

SCSI/Link

The

following

sections

describe

how

to

connect a Macintosh

or

PowerBook

to

Pocket

SCSI/Link

and

terminate

the

SCSI

chain

correctly.

The

illustrations

show

how

to

connect a PowerBook

to

a

SCSI

bus

using

Pocket

SCSI/Link.

Note-

Always

turn

your

Macintosh

off

before

connecting

and

disconnecting SCSI devices.

Using

Pocket

SCSI/links

and

PowerBooks

If

you

connect a Pocket

SCSI/Link

to a PowerBook,

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link

must

be

turned

on

or

the

PowerBook

won't

boot

up,

since

power

is

not

available

through

the

PowerBook

SCSI ports. If

you

can't

boot

your

PowerBook

with a Pocket

SCSI/Link

connected

to

its

SCSI

port,

simply

turn

on

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link, or,

if

you

don't

need

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link,

remove

it from

the

SCSI port.

PowerBook

computers

use a unique

SCSI

termination

strategy.

PowerBooks

require

termination

of

the

first

and

last

devices

in

a

SCSI

chain. Refer

to

your

PowerBook

user's

guide

Service

to

order

the

necessary

power

supply.

Caution-

Dayna

does

not

recommend

using

ADB

power

when

connecting

to

and

using

thin

Ethernet (10BASE-2) cabling.

If

you

want

to

use

ADB

power

with

thin

Ethernet cabling, set the SCSI

termination

switch to

one

of

the

termination

off

SCSI ID positions. The Pocket

SCSI/Link

should

not

be

used

as

the last device

in

a SCSI

chain

when

more

than

one

external

SCSI device is connected. Instead,

simply use the Pocket SCSI/Link as

an

intermediary device

in

the

SCSI chain.

Understanding

the

Activity

Light

The

activity light is

the

shortest

light

on

the

top

of

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link.

It

flashes

amber

when

the

hardware

is

working,

indicating

that

the

Macintosh

can

communicate

with

the

Ethernet

network

and

that

data

is

being

transmitted

through

the

device.

Installing

and

Connecting Pocket SCSI/Link 15

Removing

the

Pocket

SCSI/Link

Device

Before

removing

SCSI/Link,

shut

down

your

Macintosh

and

either

unplug

the

AC

adapter

from

the

electrical

outlet

or

disconnect

the

Installing

the

DaynaPORT

Software

This

chapter

describes

how

to

install

the

DaynaPORT

software

in

a

Macintosh

workstation

and

select

the

EtherTalk Alternative

icon

in

the

Network

control

panel.

Note-

The Pocket SCSI/Link

should

be

fully

installed

and

can nected to the

network cable before

you

install the software.

This

chapter

also

describes

how

to

remove

the

DaynaPORT

software

from

the

Macintosh.

If

you

permanently

disconnect

the

Macintosh from

the

Ethernet

network,

you

may

wish

to

remove

the

DaynaPORT

software

to

save

memory.

The

Installer automatically identifies

the

DaynaPORT

hardware

and

type

of

Macintosh,

and

the

System

and

EtherTalk

versions

installed

on

your

workstation.

The

Easy Install

procedure

will automatically

install

the

correct

version

of

the

DaynaPORT software.

Before Running the Installer

Before

running

the

Installer,

make

sure

you've

installed

the

DaynaPORT

hardware

correctly.

You

should

also

remove

all virus

protection

software

from

your

System Folder,

turn

off

all System

Extensions

(or

Inits),

and

restart

your

computer.

(Under

System 7,

you

can

simply

hold

down

the

SHIFT

key

while

you

restart.) If

you

run

the

Installer

without

turning

off

your

virus

protection

software,

you

may

get a warning

that

the

Installer is

damaged.

The

Installer

requires

you

to

close

all

applications

and

restart

your

Macintosh.

If

you

launch

the

Installer

while

running

other

applica-

tions,

the

Installer will let

you

terminate

the

installation

or

exit

from

the

application

and

continue.

Under

some

conditions,

the

Installer

will display a notification

dialog

even

though

you're

not

running

any

other

applications.

In

this case,

simply

click

CONTINUE.

The

DaynaPORT

software

requires

less

than

lOOK

of

disk

space.

However,

to

install

the

software

on

your

currently

active disk,

you

must

have

enough

room

on

the

disk

for

the

Installer

to

create

a

temporary

copy

of

your

System file.

Solving

Problems

This

chapter

describes

problems

you

may

encounter

installing

and

using

DaynaPORT

hardware

and

software. It

assumes

that

you've

followed

this

guide's

installation instructions

and

that

your

system

is

connected

to

a functioning

Ethernet

network.

Checking

the

Hardware

In

general,

if

you

have a problem

establishing a

network

connec-

tion

for

the

Macintosh

with

Pocket

SCSI/Link,

check

the

hardware

connection

first

and

run

the

Hardware

Diagnostics as

described

in

the

Diagnostics Read Me file

on

the

DaynaPORT Installer disk.

The

Diagnostics Read Me file is

in

the

compressed

Diagnostics file.

Double-click

to

decompress

the

file

and

extract

the

files

onto

your

hard

drive.

Check

that

the

network

connector

is

attached

correctly. Also, verify

that

your

network

cable

system

meets

Ethernet

cabling

standards.

If

you're

connected

to

thin

Ethernet

cable, follow

these

steps.

• Twist

the

sleeve

on

the

Y-connector

or T -connector

to

make

sure

the

connection

is

secure

• Make

sure

both

ends

of

the Y -connector

or T -connector

are

connected

to

the

thin

Ethernet

cable

and

the

cable

ends

are

terminated

properly

with

SOQ

BNC terminators

• Make

sure

the

workstation

uses a Y-connector

or

T-connector

and

is

not

"directly

connected"

to

the

Ethernet

cable.

Such a connection

will

disrupt

the

entire

network

If

you're

connected

to

a lOBASE

-T

cable

system,

make

sure

the

link

status

light is lit.

If

not,

reseat

the

plug

in

the

jack.

Checking

the

Network

Software

When

you've

verified

that

the

hardware

is installed

properly,

check

the

software

installation instructions

in

Chapter

2.

You

may

want

to

run

the
