Digital UNIX Drivers for the ITI-5232E are on the Digital UNIX distribution kit beginning with Version 4.0D. Digital UNIX will identify the ITI-5232E as four 21140 based Ethernet controllers. Once the hardware is installed in your system, boot the system using genvmunix, in the following manner: >>>boot –file genvmunix This will cause Digital UNIX to scan all hardware devices in the system, and identify the ITI-5232E . Four 21140 based Ethernet adapters will be identified.
Digital OpenVMS Drivers for the ITI-5232E are on the Digital OpenVMS distribution kit beginning with Version 7.1. Digital OpenVMS will identify the ITI-5232E as four 21140 based adapters. Follow the documentation for the network software you will be running on the adapter for specific configuration information. Note: Digital OpenVMS relies on the settings for media type and speed set by the SRM console. See Appendix A for more information.
Appendix A Digital’s SRM Console Settings When the ITI-5232E is being used in a Digital Alpha platform running OpenVMS or Digital UNIX, the SRM console is used to set the port speed, media (cable) type and boot protocols, and can also be used to test the module. After powering your system up, and before booting your operating system, the system will stop at the SRM console prompt. On a uni-processor machine, the SRM prompt is “>>>” and on the primary processor of a multi-processor machine, is “P0>>>”.
For example, to set the media type and speed to FAST Twisted Pair, enter the command: >>>set ewa0_mode FAST If you will be remote booting via the Ethernet, you must also set the boot protocol to match that of the boot node. Typically OpenVMS uses MOP protocol and UNIX uses BOOTP. For example to set a port to MOP (VMS) use: >>>set ewa0_protocol MOP Note: Port 0 will be the lowest controller letter found by the SRM console, “A” if there are no other Ethernet ports in the system.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting Windows NT Version 4.0 and 3.51 The most common problem encountered on Windows NT for Ethernet devices is a mismatch of the port’s speed and media settings to those in use on the network. The most simple check of correct cabling is to observe the status lights on the handle of the card. Once the card is installed in the system, the software is installed, and the module is wired to your network hub, the LINK light should be illuminated.
