Testing ZX222 Adapters in DOS

1. Run the diagnostic program that came with your adapter to see if your adapter has been

properly configured. Run DIAG222.EXE off your diskette by entering:

>DIAG222 LIST


2. You will see a list below.

3. You should see two Ethernet-type devices, and the “Note” column should indicate the

devices to be ZX222’s. 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.


4. To test all channels of your adapter, run DIAG222 for each bus number and device number.

For example, if you have a ZX222 and the bus number is 1 and the device numbers are 4
and 5, run:

>DIAG222 1 4
>DIAG222 1 5

5. If the DIAG222 program says:

Diagnostics successfully compl eted.

each time, proceed with the software installation.

System-Specific Configuration Requirements

The host computer program should automatically assign all system resources, such as I/O

2. Observe the LED’s. Each port on the ZX222 has a LINK (green) LED and an ACTIVITY

(amber) LED. The green LED illuminates upon successfully establishing a link. The amber
