Installation and Setup
Setting the I/O Base Address
I/O base addresses are areas of memory that your CPU uses to distinguish
between the various peripheral devices connected to your system when
transferring or receiving data. The 5171 PC NIC uses a single DIP switch bank
(SW1), as shown in the illustration below, to assign the card’s base address. The
illustration shows the switch settings for an I/O base address of 380.
NOTE:
Each hardware device included in the system must have a different I/O base
address.

Setting the IRQ Switches
IRQ (hardware interrupt request) is a signal used by your device to inform your
CPU when it wants to transfer or receive data. Use Switch Banks 2 and 3 (SW2
and SW3) to select an IRQ. You can use the following illustration to locate these
switches. The callouts show the switch settings when IRQ is set to 5.

" Procedure
To set the IRQ switches:
1. Determine the appropriate IRQ for the card. Using the previous table, you
may already know of an available IRQ. It not, refer to your PC documentation
for instructions on how to determine available IRQs. Typically, the available
IRQ settings are 5, 7, 10 and 11. It is common in systems to use the other
IRQs for system devices.
2. Identify the switch to be set on SW2 or SW3 for the selected IRQ using the
previous table (note that the table shows the setting if the IRQ is set to 5). A
switch in the On position selects the IRQ associated with that switch. All other
switches should be Off.
3. Set the switch.
Make a note of the IRQ setting used so you can verify/set the Interrupt No. in the
HotWire Hardware Setup window after the HotWire software is installed.

Inserting the 5171 PC NIC
Procedure
To install your 5171 PC NIC into your PC:
CAUTION:
This card is intended to be installed in UL Listed CSA Certified
equipment in the field by the user in the manufacturer’s defined
operator access area. Check the equipment operating/installation
instructions and/or equipment manufacturer to verify/confirm if your
equipment is suitable for user-installed application cards.
1. Turn off the PC. Disconnect cables for the monitor and any powered
equipment to the PC. Then, lay the PC chassis on a flat surface.
2. After waiting at least one minute, remove the PC cover and touch the metal
PC frame to discharge any static electricity on your clothes or body.
Installation and Setup
CAUTION:
Plugging in and turning on the system at the wrong time could result in
an electrical shock to you or cause damage to your computer system’s
components.
3. Choose an unused 16-bit expansion slot
for the PC NIC.

5. Verify that the DIP switches on the PC
NIC are set to the proper settings.
6. Insert the 5171 PC NIC into the expansion
slot:
— Pick up the card by the edges or the
top corners. Be careful not to touch
the pins on the bottom of the card.
— Align the connector on the bottom
of the card, directly over the slot.
Place one hand along the top edge
of the card, directly over the
connector area, and push down
firmly but gently until the connector
is fully seated.
— To ensure that the card is properly
seated, gently try to lift the card.
7. Secure the PC NIC to the chassis using
a bracket screw.
8. Insert the 6-pin plug on the provided
cable into the DSL jack on the card.
Connect the other end of the cable to
the network access point. Refer to
Appendix B for pin assignments.

the LEDs):
— The SYS LED turns solid green. Refer to
Power-Up Self-Test
following
this procedure if the SYS LED does not turn green.
— The CD LED blinks and then both the CD and LNK LEDs turn solid
green. This indicates that the card is communicating with the central
office unit, meaning your DSL link is operational. If the CD and LNK
LEDs do not function as stated, stop the installation process and
contact your customer service representative for assistance.
10. Turn the power off again.
11. Replace and secure the cover to the PC.
12. Plug in the monitor and other peripheral devices you disconnected and power
on the PC.

Power-Up Self-Test
Whenever you turn on your system or after the card reset operation is selected in
the 5171 Diagnostics Utility, a power-up self-test is automatically performed on
the PC NIC to ensure that the card is installed and functioning properly. The
self-test includes a basic hardware test and verification of card components. The
SYS (system) LED state identifies the following conditions by:
Turning solid green if the test is successful.
Turning Off if the test fails.
The LEDs are only visible when the PC cover is removed. To locate the SYS LED
on the PC NIC, refer to Appendix A for an illustration of the LEDs. If the test fails:
Recheck or change the IRQ setting.
Check the seating of the card.
Installing the Network Driver
Installation and Setup
After installing the 5171 PC NIC, you must install the network driver.
If you are using . . .
Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you will
need to install a TCP/IP stack, such as
Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for
Workgroups 3.11.
This TCP/IP stack can be downloaded
from Microsoft’s World Wide Web (WWW)
site on the Internet. After the stack is
installed,
