Technical data

Some software products, for example, Ethernet-based VAXcluster systems,
use the Ethernet hardware address of other systems to operate properly.
To find the hardware address of your Ethernet device, use the command
SHOW ETHERNET from console mode. The hardware address of your
Ethernet device displays on the terminal as shown in the following example:
>>>SHOW ETHERNET
EZA0 (08-00-2B-03-50-5C)
Refer to your software manuals and DECnet manuals for other
requirements and further instructions on using a network connection.
3.3 Real-Time Options
The following real-time options are available for your VAX 4000 system:
• DRQ3B—High-speed interface with two 16-bit data channels
• DRV1W—General purpose interface with one 16-bit input port, one 16-
bit output port
• AAV11–S—Digital-to-analog converter with DMA capability
• ADQ32—Analog-to-digital converter with DMA capability
• ADV11–S—Analog-to-digital converter with DMA capability
• AXV11—Input/output circuit board for analog devices; analog-to-digital
input, digital-to-analog output
• IBQ01—DMA controller that connects a Q-bus to RS–485 control
• IEQ11—DMA controller that connects a Q-bus to two independent
busses
• KWV11–S—Programmable clock that counts events or time intervals,
offers up to five frequencies
Before using a real-time controller, make sure the devices connected to the
controller are properly set up. Refer to the documentation for the real-time
device.
3.4 Printer Options
Before using a printer, make sure it is properly set up and passes any self-
tests. Verify that the printer is connected to an appropriate controller.
Some printers, such as the LG01 and LG02, require the LPV11–SA
interface. Other printers require modem control signals. Consult your
printer documentation for the interface requirements.
