ZT 97115 Product Definition
Each ZT 97115 includes:
•
Software drivers for several popular network operating systems
•
A setup program
•
Complete diagnostics
These features are described in the following topics.
Software Drivers
The disk includes software drivers for use with several network operating systems. You
must integrate these drivers into your network operating system. A complete list of
supported software drivers is available on the ZT 97115 disk. Keep in mind that the
ZT 8995 is NE2000 compatible and can be used with most drivers that are already
provided with your network software.
Setup Program
The ZT 97115 includes a setup program to initialize the ZT 8995. The setup program is
used to initialize the following:
•
Base I/O address
•
Interrupt line
•
Operating mode (I/O or Memory Mapped)
•
Media Selection (UTP, Thin or Thick Ethernet)
The board is shipped software "disabled". This prevents a possible conflict with your
existing system I/O map and interrupt structure. To set your default values, a DOS
based configuration program called INFOSET.EXE must be used. Refer to the topic
"
Using The Setup Program
" in Chapter 2 for details.
Diagnostic Programs
The ZT 97115 software disk contains a diagnostic program named
AUTOSET8.EXE
used to verify the correct configuration (via setup) and operation of a ZT 8995 Ethernet
board before installing the network software. Software is also included to test the
ZT 8995 and to initiate and respond to network messages while logging network
statistics. Diagnostics can be run in iterative or continuous modes initiated from within
the diagnostic itself or from the DOS command line. See below:
