INSTALLATION GUIDE

PCI/PXI ETHERNET ADAPTERS

National Instruments offers several Ethernet adapters based on the Intel

82559-compatible Ethernet controller.

This document explains how to install and troubleshoot the Ethernet drivers

for your PCI/PXI board. Some boards also contain additional functionality,

for example, GPIB. Refer to the documentation that came with your kit to

install the software for the other functionality.

Installing Your PCI Board

Note If you are replacing an existing Ethernet adapter with the PCI Ethernet adapter in

Windows 95, refer to Removing an Existing Adapter in Windows 95.

Complete the following instructions to install the Ethernet adapter.

1. Shut down Windows if it is running by clicking Start»Shut Down.

2. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.

3. Remove the cover to give yourself access to the expansion slots.

4. Choose an empty PCI slot and remove the slot cover by unscrewing the

screw that secures it.

5. Insert the adapter into the PCI slot and push until it is firmly seated.

Reinstallthescrewyouremovedinstep4.

6. Replace the cover and plug in the power cord.

Installing Your PXI Board

Note If you are replacing an existing Ethernet adapter with the PXI Ethernet adapter in

Windows 95, refer to Removing an Existing Adapter in Windows 95.

Complete the following instructions to install the Ethernet adapter.

1. Shut down Windows if it is running by clicking Start»Shut Down.

2. Turn off your PXI or CompactPCI chassis. Keep the chassis plugged

in so that it remains grounded as you install the adapter.

3. Remove the filler panel from a PXI peripheral bus master slot. The

adapter requires a bus master slot to take advantage of the onboard

DMA and Ethernet controllers. All PXI chassis and most CompactPCI

chassis contain only bus master slots. Refer to your chassis

documentation to verify you are using a bus master slot.

4. Touch a metal part on your chassis to discharge any static electricity

that might be on your clothes or body.

5. Insert the adapter into the selected bus master slot. Use the

injector/ejector handle to fully inject the device into place.

6. Screw the front panel of the adapter to the front panel mounting rail

of the PXI or CompactPCI chassis.

Connect the Network Cable

1. Connect a Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) network cable to the adapter as

showninFigure1.

Figure 1. Connecting the Network Cable

• For 100Base-TX, the network cable must be Category 5,

twisted-pair wiring. If you plan to run the adapter at 100 Mb/s,

it must be connected to a 100Base-TX hub or switch—not a

100Base-T4 hub.

• For 10Base-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring.

2. To configure Ethernet for your adapter, continue with the procedure

specific to your operating system outlined later in this guide.

Troubleshooting

Windows NT Troubleshooting

If Windows NT reports an error or you cannot connect to the network, try

the following suggestions first. If you are still having trouble, refer to the

additional topics in this section.

•Make sure you are using the drivers provided on the PCI/PXI Ethernet

Adapters CD.

•Make sure the drivers are loaded and the protocols are bound. Check

the settings in the Network/Bindings dialog box in the Control Panel.

•Check the Windows NT Event Viewer for error messages.

•Test the adapter with the PROSet advanced configuration utility that

was installed on your system when you installed the drivers. To start

PROSet, double-click the PROSet icon in the Windows Control Panel.

To run diagnostics, select the adapter and click the Diagnostics tab,

then click Run Tests.

Testing the Adapter

Test the adapter by running diagnostics. To test the Ethernet functionality,

run PROSet by double-clicking the PROSet icon in the Control Panel.

Select the adapter and click the Diagnostics tab, then click Run Tests.

If your board has GPIB functionality, run the NI-488.2 Getting Started

Wizard to verify your hardware and software installation.

WOL558.VXD Missing or Not Found (Windows 98 Only)

This error can occur in Windows 98 if a .inf filealreadyinstalledonthe

system interferes with the driver installation. Perform the following steps

to manually install the Ethernet adapter.

1. Open Windows Explorer.

2. Select Views»Folder Options.

9. Restart your computer.

10. Follow the instructions given previously in the Windows 98 section to

install the Windows 98 drivers.

Adapter Cannot Connect to the Network

1. Make sure the cable is installed properly.

The network cable must be installed properly at both the adapter and

the hub. The maximum distance for the cable is 100 m. If the cable is

connected properly and within the allowed distance, try another cable.

2. Check the LEDs on the adapter.

The adapter has two LEDs located on the RJ-45 connector.

The following table lists the function of each LED.

3. Make sure you are using the correct drivers.

Verify that you are using the drivers that came with the adapter.

The computer hangs when the drivers are loaded

Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. See PCI/PXI Installation Tips for

more information.

Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails or

errors occur

At 100 Mb/s, make sure you are using a Category 5 cable and you are

connected to a 100Base-TX hub or switch—not 100Base-T4.

LED Color Function Indication Meaning

Yellow Action/Link On The adapter is receiving power. The cable

connection is good.

Off The adapter is not sending or receiving

network data. The adapter is not receiving

power. The cable connection is bad or you

have a driver problem.

and power is connected

•Make sure the network cable is attached.

PCI/PXI Installation Tips

PCI/PXI computers are designed to automatically configure add-in boards

each time the computer starts. The PCI/PXI computer sets the I/O address

and IRQ level for the peripheral boards when the computer starts. The

network drivers cannot change these values. If you experience problems

when the computer starts, you may have to follow additional steps.

On some computers, manual configuration is possible through the

computer’s BIOS setup utility. Refer to the documentation that came with

your computer. You may need to verify or change some BIOS settings.

The following common solutions may correct your problem:

•Make sure you have installed the adapter in a bus master-enabled slot.

On some computers, not all slots are bus master enabled by default.

Check your BIOS settings. Enable PCI/PXI bus mastering, if your

BIOS has such an option.

•Reserve interrupts (IRQ) and/or memory addresses for ISA adapters.

This prevents PCI/PXI boards from using the same settings ISA boards

are using. Try changing some of the interrupts that are reserved for

ISA, but not being used, to reserved for PCI/PXI.
