Connect the Download Cable
Select an unused PRINTER port on your PC. Remove any “dongles”, security keys, printer switch boxes
or extension cables from the port. Plug the supplied download cable directly into the selected printer port.
Plug the other end of the cable into EconoROM III’s “IN” port.
PLUGGING EconoROM III INTO A SERIAL PORT
or an ETHERNET CABLE COULD DAMAGE THE
EMULATOR!
Connect Daisy-chain Cables
Multiple units are daisy-chained by connecting the “OUT” connector from one unit to the “IN” connector of
the next unit. Additional units are added in the same manner. Use the supplied 12” daisy-chain cable to
interconnect the units.
When daisy-chained together, the emulators automatically determine their position in the chain, making it
unnecessary to configure their addresses. However, it is important that you understand how their addresses
are determined.
The LAST EMULATOR in the chain (the one without a cable plugged into its “OUT” connector) is
always emulator #1. The next emulator in the chain is #2 and so forth. The emulator closest to the PC
will always be the highest numbered emulator.
Run self-test
Running self-test immediately after installation gives you a solid baseline and helps you to find and correct
any errors early on. Self-test will verify proper installation of all drivers, proper operation of the parallel
port and all EconoROM III functions except the target interface buffers.
You will find 16 and 32bit console mode programs in directories below your install directory. The 16bit
self test is included in case you plan to use the 16bit loader on a DOS machine. The 32bit self-test should
be used if you are planning to use the Windows Quickloader or the 32bit console mode loader. We
recommend using the 32bit self-test if you are running under Windows 95 or above.
If you are using multiple EconoROM IIIs, we recommend that you test them collectively to ensure reliable
operation in the final configuration.
Type “ER3TEST32” to run a full speed test over printer port 0x378. You can change the printer port by
using a /P parameter. For example, if your emulator is connected to a printer port at 0x3bc, you would
enter “ER3TEST32 /P3BC”. The most common printer port addresses (in order of popularity) are 378,
278 and 3bc.
If any of these tests fail, refer to the troubleshooting section for assistance. If the troubleshooting section
does not resolve the problem, contact our technical support people for help.
