PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 Quick Installation
• On the 100Base-T “link configuration” screen, fill in the
appropriate autonegotiation, speed, and duplex settings. (For
more detailed information on the various screens, see the
NS 3000/iX NMMGR Screens Reference Manual.
• Perform configuration verification and exit NMMGR.
6. Verify the installation:
• Verify that the link starts successfully by starting a network
subsystem (e.g., NETCONTROL START; NET=LAN1) that uses the
newly configured link.
• Check console messages to verify that the link connected
successfully. The link status can also be checked via the
LINKCONTROL command. The following is a sample output for a
successfully connected link:
:linkcontrol tslink;status=L
Linkname: LANLINK Linktype: PCI 100BT Linkstate: CONNECTED
where “LANLINK” is the link name as configured in NMCONFIG
on the “link configuration” data screen.
• Verify that the card’s Link LED is on. Note that the LED cannot
light unless the link software is also started.
• Verify connectivity with a remote system, e.g., by issuing a “ping”
command via the NETTOOL or PING utilities, or by establishing
a remote VT session (after issuing an NSCONTROL START).
If the link could not be brought up and the remote connection
successfully verified, refer to the section on “Quick Troubleshooting
Tips”.
