where is NIC

[Qamar_7]

Hello Brothers,

On my HP 715/100 workstaion, I don't see any Network Interface port(UTP) to connect my system to network but when I do ioscan, it shows that there is a netwrk card in the system. what I feel is..there is an in built NIC but port is not UTP, it is something else.
need your help on how to connect this system to my existing UTP network.

Warm regards,
Qamar

Hi Qamar,

If I remember correctly your 715 should have a AUI interface for the network. You will need to use a AUI - UTP transceiver.

netstat -in will show you the interfaces

ioscan -fknClan will do something sililar.

As above reply, you may need an adaptor..

Hi Qamar,

ou can not directly connect you 715 workstation to UTP network. It is very old Model so it does not have RJ45 i/f. it has AUI port and you will require converter/adapter for this.

If the NIC card works it will show up on a lanscan display.

At that point network configuration is set with the script set_parms and is stored in the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

This applies based on my experience with HP-UX 11.00 and might be applicable to earlier versions of the OS.

Like mentioned before, you need a AUI-UTP tranceiver.

Mind that the maximum (and only) network speed this can give you is 10Mb/s.

What they said.. Yes the 715 has an aui port, but no one told you what it looked like. It is the 15 pin D-Sub connector on the the back of the CPU unit. On the 715/50 that I have it is between the two 9 pin D-sub serial ports and the monitor connector.

Qamar,
Also that 715 LAN runs 10Mbit/sec half duplex only.

Yes it worked. I got an AUI-UTP adapter and the system is now connected to my LAN. thanks much to all of you dear.

best wishes,
