Setting speed and Duplex on an Alpha ES40

[Brian Fox_1]

How can I check and set the network speed and duplex on an Alpha ES40

[Karl Rohwedder]

Since this is the VMS forum, I assume you are using VMS. On the running system you can use
the LANCP utility to check the device characteristics, e.g.
$ MC LANCP
LANCP> SHO DEV ! display all devices
LANCP> sho dev EWA0 /CHAR ! char. fpr EWA0
...
Yes Full duplex operational
TwistedPair Line media type
100 Line speed (mbps)
LANCP> SET DEV EWA0 /SPEED=... /FULL ! sets the
characteristics

Another possibility is
$ ANA/SYS
SDA> SHO LAN/FULL
...

-- EWA Device Information 27-JAN-2005 06:48:29 --
..
Duplex Enable OFF
Duplex State OFF
Line speed 100



If the system is down, you set the device using
the variables EWx0_MODE
>>> SET EWA0_MODE ! display possible options
>>> SET EWA0_MODE FAST ! 100 MBit, Fullduplex
