If it was ordered from Mesa and not shipped yet, we can cancel the order if you wish

Ok. I wasn't able to do anything with this yesterday, had to work on site. I now have connected the 7i76e through eithernet and can ping it. but now i have no idea how to do a pnc.config as it doesnt give an eithernet option, only pci and parallel options. I am still running the 7i77 and 7i64 through the 6i25 but trying to run the 7i76e through eithernet. is this wrong should i connect the 7i77 and 7i64 to the 7i76e and run it all on eithernet? either way i need to know how to make a hal file to connect to the 7i76e,

Pncconf can setup a Ethernet connected 7I76E but I don't think it can setup a 7I77
daughters card attached to a 7I76E.

You could use a 5i25 /7i76/7i77 configuration and edit the hal file to change the driver
command line from hm2_pci to hm2_eth, add the ip address in the driver
command line, and change the card name from 5i25 to 7i76e in the ini file

You would have to reflash the 7I76E with firmware that supports a 7I77
