Driver Installation
This section covers driver installation for the NetBlaster adapter. At this stage the adapter should
be secure in the system and all Ethernet cables should be attached. If this is not the case, return
to the “Hardware Installation” procedure in the previous section.
Download the specific driver for your system from the ZNYX web site ( www.znyx.com ).
Included on the web site with the driver are release notes with installation and configuration
instructions. Follow the directions on line to configure the driver.
Running DOS Diagnostics
DOS-based diagnostics are also available from the ZNYX web site ( www.znyx.com ) to help
troubleshoot hardware problems. If you believe you have a hardware problem, and have the
capability to run DOS-based diagnostics, the steps below outline the use of the diagnostics.
Testing ZX478 Adapters in DOS
1. Run the diagnostic program to see if your adapter has been properly configured. Run
DIAG478.EXE off your diskette by entering:
>DIAG478 LIST
2. You will see a list below. (This example is for the ZX478.)

3. You should see nine Ethernet-type devices (one the bridge, and one for each of the eight
ports), and the “Note” column should indicate the device to be a ZX478. Each should have
an IRQ (interrupt line), bus value, and a unique device number. If so, your card has been
automatically configured. Make a note of the bus and device numbers and go on to the
software installation section.
