Configuring the EIA0 (DE602) Ethernet card

Question:

How do I configure the EIA0 (DE602) Ethernet card?

Answer:

TCPware supports the Digital EtherWorks (DE602) PCI Ethernet Card.

You can define a logical for a supported device that references the unsupported EIA0 device and then configure TCPware to use the supported device.

Follow these instructions to configure the card.

1. Define the logical:

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC EWA0 EIA0

Then configure TCPware to use device EWA0.

If your system has an EWA0 device already defined, define the logical EWB0 to reference EIA0. Then configure TCPware to use device EWA1.

If your system has an EWB0 device already defined, define the logical EWC0 to reference EIA0. Then configure TCPware to use device EWA2.

When you use CNFNET and it asks to "Enter the line identifications" the default given by CNFNET will not include the new line so you have to enter the lines you want configured.

VMS Device TCPware Device
EIA0: EWA-0
EIB0: EWA-1
EIC0: EWA-2
