IP configuration and Xemacs

[d'arco]

Hi all,

I have 2 problems with my workstation under UX 10.20 :

1 - I have configured the IP's address. My station is correctly used through the factory's network. But only the AUI connector is active and not the RJ45 !! How can I activate the RJ45 ?

2 - I would like to change the toolbar icon's color under xemacs. But I don't find how to do it !!

Could someone help me for this 2 "small" problems ???

Thanks

Hi,

Edit your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and add yout ipaddress.

Prior to doing this, ensure that your system have two lan cards with drivers, use lanscan to check.

Ensure that you have that UTP cable alabilable for connection to the RJ45 port.

All the best..

From your description, this sounds like a very old workstation, perhaps a 700-series computer. There is only one LAN card in these boxes and the RJ45 and AUI ports connect to the same card. To change from AUI to RJ45 requires moving a jumper block inside the box. Note that these boxes pre-date 100Mbit connections so either port will be 10Mbits only.

10.20 is also very old, obsolete and unsupported since 2001, so you'll need to define whether you are using VUE or CDE as your desktop window manager.

Hi,

my station is a C360.

It is a old station with an old UX, but I can not change it, because we use an EISA connector !!!

I have opened the box...........but I didn't found the jumper.

are you sure about the jumper ?

[Bill Hassell]

Yes, the jumper is there for a 700-series workstation but you have a C360 which is very different. You might want to print a copy of the owner's manual:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/lpv37673/lpv37673.pdf

There is only one LAN card and in the C360, this is a 10/100 LAN card which autosenses both the interface as well as the speed. From the owner's manual (pg. 75):

"When the workstation fails to establish a link using the LAN-TP(RJ45) connector, the workstation automatically switches from the LAN-TP(RJ45) connector to the AUI connector. You can manually set the LAN interface to the AUI connector using the Boot Console Interface"

Hi,

I have forced the lan configuration to be in 10 Mbits half Duplex. I have connected the ethernet on the RJ45 connector and rebooted the station.

From an other station I can ping my station.

The only problem is that when I take a connection with "Exceed", it is very slow.

When I was connected on the AUI connector, that was faster.

May something must be reconfigured !!

thanks for your previous help..........if you have any idea !!

and about xemacs ??!! some suggestions ?

Which EISA card are you using in the C360? Also, I thought we kept EISA support in the _32_ bit 11.0 bits but not the 64-bit ones, but I could be wrong.

hi d'arco,

you can change thew lan settings in either SAM or at BCH.

reboot the workstation to the BCH level and change it with the lanconfig command

from main menu go into configuration menu

and then you can change it to 100FD if the switch/network will work at that.
The options are

lanconfig 100/Full_dx
lanconfig 100/Half_dx
lanconfig 10/Half_dx
lanconfig 10/Full_dx

The aui will only work at a maximum of 10 half duplex.

Hi vince,

very slow connection could be speed/mode mismatch between lan card and switch.
Check that both are running 10 HD.

You also can check with 'lanscan' -> 'lan' -> 'dis' if there are errors by the connection.
