Getting to Know Your FujiNet

  • On the left side of the ADAM FujiNet is the power switch; pull it forward for ON and back for OFF.
  • The right side has a push/push MicroSD socket.
  • There are 3 status LEDs on top; LEFT is WiFi connection, MIDDLE is BlueTooth connection (BlueTooth is currently inactive in the firmware), RIGHT is ADAMNet activity status.
  • There are 3 buttons on top; LEFT to be determined, MIDDLE to be determined, RIGHT is FujiNet RESET
  • The back side has ADAMNet IN and OUT RJ12 jacks (labeled on top) and a MicroUSB port for updating firmware.

Hooking Up FujiNet

Connect an ADAMNet cable (RJ12 6P6C crossover) from the FujiNet IN port to an ADAMNet port on the Coleco ADAM system. You can optionally connect another ADMNet device (eg, Keyboard) to the OUT port on FujiNet with another ADAMNet cable.

Bootup Notes and First Boot

When you turn on the ADAM with FujiNet connected it will first boot to Smartwriter (or another disk/drive if available). The FujiNet is not fast enough to completely boot and be ready before the ADAM boots. You can hold the ADAM reset button for a few seconds while turning it on to give FujiNet time to startup, then release reset. You can alternatively power the FujiNet from it's MicroUSB port.

When you turn on the ADAM with FujiNet connected it will load the CONFIGuration disk from FujiNet. If it's the first time you booted the FujiNet or if the saved WifI access point is not available you will be prompted to setup a wireless connection. Select your access point and enter it's passphrase.

PLEASE NOTE: FujiNet is powered by the Espressif "ESP32" chipset, which works on 2.4GHz WiFi networks ONLY. If you are using a "mixed" 2.4GHz/5GHz WiFi network (using both radio bands with the same SSID), you MAY have problems connecting your FujiNet device with other devices on the network.

Navigating CONFIG

On the main CONFIG screen you will see Host slots on top and disk slots on bottom. You can jump between the host slots and disk slots with [TAB]. Host slots can be an IP address or hostname of a TNFS server (eg, adam-apps.irata.online). Any host slot can also be named SD which points to the onboard SD card socket
