6 - Configure the Adapter Using SAM
Follow the steps in the PCI FDDI Installation and Configuration card to
load the FDDI software. The card gives you step-by-step instructions on
using swinstall. After you have installed the software, follow the steps
in the above mentioned card to configure the adapter using SAM. Check
the SAM log file for errors (select “View Log” from the SAM menu or use
the samlog_view utility).
To manually configure PCI FDDI add entries to the
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf and /etc/hosts files.
Configure the PCI FDDI link with the specific parameters as required.
To complete the software configuration for full network communication,
you will need an IP address, subnet mask (optional) and host name alias.
You will also need super-user status.
• Add IP address
• Add any alias names
• Add any subnet mask. This will initialize the FDDI link for IP
communication and attach your node to the local area network.
