TROUBLESHOOTING 

All ZNYX Networks adapters support Plug-and-Play functionality. If you have a Plug-and-
Play system, your card will configure itself automatically. If your operating system does not 
discover the board, you can verify that your adapter is property configured by running the 
ZNYX Networks DOS-based diagnostics program. 

Running DOS Diagnostics 

DOS-based diagnostic programs are available from the ZNYX Networks web site 
(www.znyx.com) to troubleshoot hardware problems. If you believe you have a hardware 
problem, follow the testing procedure below.  

Testing ZX420 Adapters in DOS 

1. 

Download the diagnostic program (i.e., 

DIAG424.exe)

 from the ZNYX web site. 

2. 

Run the diagnostic program in DOS as follows: 

• 

Enter the following command: 

>DIAG424 LIST

• 

Verify that a list similar to the example below is displayed.  

Your card is automatically configured for the ZX424 if four Ethernet-type devices 
(represents each port) are listed.  

The 

Note 

column must indicate four devices are for the ZX424. Each device should 

have an 

IRQ

 (interrupt line), 

bus

 value, and a unique 

device

 number.  

3. 

Write down the 

bus 

and 

device 

numbers for testing each adapter channel

 (see the 

Testing Each Adapter Channel section

).
