Figure 1-2. Media Coupler

The 15-slot connector on the media coupler attaches to the 15-pin connect or on the BayStack 22 PC Card Ado pter. The ot her end of the media coupl er c ontai ns an RJ-45 port. You can attach a standard Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port to connect the network card to a network device such as a hub or switch.

RJ-45 Ethernet Por t

The RJ-45 10BAS E-T/100BASE- TX Etherne t port adapts to the correct network speed of 10 Mb/s or 100 M b/s thro ugh autone goti at ion with the board c omponen ts of the network card. The port is wir ed as an MDI-X port to connect to other devi ces without using a crossover cable.

If you are install ing the BaySt ack 22 network dr i ve r sof tware in a Nov ell NetWare version 3.1 2 environment, refer to the Readme.txt fil e on the BayStack 22 PCMCIA Card Adapter Software & Documentation CD.

Installing the Network Card in a Novell NetWare Server

This section describes the steps required to install the Ba yStack 22 netw ork drive r software in your Novell NetWare 4.x server.

Your laptop computer must have the follo wing installed prior to installing the BayStack 22 network driver software:

• Ba y Stack 22 PC Card Ad ap ter

• MS-DOS operating system

• Novell Ne tWare 4.x server software To install the BayStack 22 networ k driver in your Novell NetWare 4.x server:

Insert the

BayStack 22 PCMCIA Card Adapter Sof tware & Documenta tion

CD into the CD drive of your server. Verify that the following files are located in the Novell NetWare server

directory.

• \NETWARE\SERVER\4.X\MSM.NLM

• \NETWARE\SERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM

If the files listed in step 2 are not located in the server directory , copy

these files from the

CD to the root directory.

• \ENABLER\B22ENA10.EXE You can also run the BS22ENA10.EXE progr am from the BayStack 22

PCMCIA Card Adapter Software & Documentation CD instead of copying

the program to your root directo ry.

Access a DO S prom pt s creen.

From the DOS prompt you must run the BS22ENA10.EXE program before installi ng the BaySta ck 22 network driv e r.

Enter the following syntax:

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

where:

• IRQ is the interrupt number used specifically for the BayStack 22

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

• IOP is the starting Input/Output (I/ O) port address, in hexadeci mal

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 havin g an IRQ v alue of 5 and an IOP value of 300:

B22ENA10 /IRQ:5 /IOP:300

This chapte r provides several methods for troubleshooting pr oblems relate d to the BayStack 22 PC Card A d apt er.

Diagnostic LEDs

Chapter 4

Troubleshooting

Three LEDs on the media coupler of the BayStack 22 netw ork card provide diagnostic information. The 10 and 100 Mb/s Link LEDs indicate successful network connectio ns to Ethe rnet and F ast Ethernet de vi ces, respe ctively . 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 indicate s active network traffic.

Har dware Issues

Perform the following tasks to check for hardware problems:

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

described in “Cable Requirements

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

network device.

• Use a different port on the netw ork device.

• Verify that the BayStack 22 networ k car d is fully and fir mly seated in the slot

connector in the co mputer. Check the connector edge s of the card for damage.

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

functions properly. Run generic network int erface card diagnostic tests.

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

again.

• Remove all other netw ork cards from the computer and run the tests again.

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 expla ine d in Chapter 3, “

Installation. ” Be s ure y ou foll o wed the directi ons for t he operati ng sy stem you

are running on the computer.

• Check that the new conf igurations match the conf igur ations of the network

devi ce if you have manually configured the speed or mode of the network card. Nortel Netwo rks recommends setting the network card to autonegotiation when installin g the networ k drive r.

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

Some computers may require that you conf igure the PCMCIA slot to enable bus mastering. Refer to your computer manual for information about the PCMCIA BIOS setup pr ogram.

• Verify that your B IOS software correctly supports the PCMCIA Local Bus

Specification, version 2.0 or later. Upgrade your BIOS software if neede d.

4-2

Software

206380-A

Troubleshooting

• Determine 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.

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

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

Note:

Always consult your computer manual for information a bout ch anging 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. Ref er to your PC manual for instructions.
