NOTE
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking
Configuring Network Connectivity
The RJ-45 connection operates at either 10 or 100 Mbits/s, but the BNC
and AUI connections operate only at 10 Mbits/s. Also, the Link Status
LED is for the RJ-45 connector only; the Link Status LED is dark if the
AUI or BNC port is used.
For 100 Base-FX (fiber), attach the fiber optic cable to the duplex
SC connector. Cabling can be either 62.5 or 125 micron multimode
fiber optic cable. The operating distances for fiber optic cable for
V-Class systems are:
• Node-to-repeater hub: 150 m.
• Half-duplex from node to switch or hub: 400 m.
• Full-duplex from node to switch or hub: 2km.
c. Attach the free end of the cable to any unused port on the
appropriate hub or switch (or into a wall jack that is connected to
a hub or switch). Connect power cable to system. Set the hub or
switch speed and duplex mode. The PCI 10/100Base-TX and
100Base-FX cards operate in either full-duplex or half-duplex
mode. The Base-TX card autonegotiates; the fiber card does not. If
using the 100Base-FX card, set the duplex mode manually.
d. Power up the system. When the system is up, any error messages
will appear on the terminal display or system console. You can also
use the dmesg command to retrieve start-up messages later.
e. If you are using the RJ-45 connector on the PCI 10/100Base-TX or
you are using the 100Base-FX card, verify that the Link LED on
the card is on. The Link LED will remain dark if you are using
either the BNC or AUI connector.
2. Configure the card using SAM:
a. Log in as root and verify that the card and its hardware path are
displayed by executing:
ioscan
b. Run the System Administration Manager: sam
c. Double click
d. Double click
