However, before submitting a problem report to Zilog Customer Support, follow the instructions in this section. ZDS II Cannot See the Ethernet Smart Cable If ZDS II cannot detect the Ethernet Smart Cable, try the following workarounds: * Remove power from the Ethernet Smart Cable, wait five seconds, then reapply power. Refresh the list of available smart cables. The Ethernet Smart Cable should now appear. * Verify that the Ethernet cable you are using is the correct type. (If you are connecting the Ethernet Smart Cable directly to a PC, you must use a crossover cable. Do not use a crossover cable to connect the Ethernet Smart Cable to a hub or standard Ethernet connection.) * Verify that UDP port 3000 is open in your local firewall. The ZDS II software uses UDP port 3000 to search for Ethernet Smart Cable IP addresses and requires access to that port through your local firewall. After the port is open, ZDS II should then be able to identify the IP address assigned to the Ethernet Smart Cable by your DHCP server.
