Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000
Step 5: Attach the System to the NetworkStep 5: Attach the System to the NetworkFollow the steps below to attach the system to the network.
1.Attach the 8-pin RJ-45 plug on your twisted-pair LAN cable into the RJ-45 10/100 Mbit/s connector on the card. The same RJ-45 connector is used for either 10 or 100 Mbit/s operation. Push the plug into the connector until the plug clicks into place.
The 10/100Base-TX card automatically runs at the same speed that has been set on the 10/100Base-TX hub or switch.
2.Attach the free end of the cable to the appropriate port on the 10/100Base-TX switch or hub (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 HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card supports both full- and half- duplex operation.
3.Power up the system. The 10/100Base-TX card will run an initialization test automatically. Any error messages will appear on the system’s screen. You can also view the initialization messages later by typing the dmesg command at the HP-UX prompt.
4.Verify that the LEDs on the card reflect the correct mode of operation. Refer to the LED matrix in Chapter 4, for the meaning of the LED patterns. Also, refer to the illustration on the HP-PB10/100Base-TX/9000 Quick Installation for the LED pattern for normal 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s operation. Verify that the Test LED is OFF. If the Test LED remains lighted, an error has occurred and an error message will appear on the system’s screen.
5.When the system is up, log in as root and verify that btlan1 and its hardware path are displayed by executing the command: ioscan.
6.Execute ioscan -fto make sure the hardware path and driver are listed.
The ioscan command scans the system hardware and displays output similar to the following.
The driver for the 10/100Base-TX product is btlan1. Proceed to “Step
