PCI Token Ring Card Problem

[Ronald Ng]

Hi,

I got a A5783A PCI Token Ring Card installed into a new A500 server running OS B.11.11. The S/W J1644AA is installed by factory. However, whenever I reboot the A500, the Token Ring card is initialised sucessfully and LANSCAN shows H/W State is UP. But I can't ping the card until I reset it by LANADMIN and enable it via SAM. I checked that the version of PCITR is B.11.11.02, and PH_KL24854 (PCI Cumulative Patch) and PHNE_24492 (LAN Product Cumulative Patch) are installed.

Is that a patch or H/W issue? Please help.

Ronald,

Perhaps the card is struggling to detect the ring speed on your network... have you tried manually setting its configuration in the config file (I seem to remember it should be /etc/rc.config.d/pcitr)
