PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 Quick Installation

• Using “NS Guided Conﬁguration”, conﬁgure or update the LAN

Conﬁguration. Change an existing, or add a new type LAN

Network Interface (NI) so that the NI has a link type of BT100.

Enter the Physical path of the LANIC so that it references the

path of the newly installed 10/100Base-T card, or the Core I/O

card LAN port.

NOTE

The Core I/O card will usually have a path of 0/0/0/0; the path should

be printed on the bulkhead near the RJ-45 port.

• 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 and the

HP e3000/iX Network Planning and Conﬁguration Guide.

• If DTS is required for the link, use the “DTS” screen to conﬁgure

the link name, specifying BT100 as link type, and the appropriate

I/O path. The link name and path can be the same as used with

the NS.

• 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 lanlink;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, and in this example, is

the link name that was chosen for the NI named LAN1.

• 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”.
