26 Digital UNIX Drivers for the I TI -5232E are on the Digital UNI X distribution kit beginning with Version 4.0D. Digital UNI X will identify the I TI-5232E as four 21140 based Ethernet controllers.
27 Digital OpenVMS Drivers for the I TI -5232E are on the Digital OpenVMS distribution kit beg inning with Version 7.1. Digital OpenVMS will identify the ITI -5232E as four 21140 based adapters. Follow the documentation for the network software y ou will be running on the adapter for specific configuration information.
28 A ppendix A Digital’s SRM Console Settings When the ITI -5232E is being used in a Digital Alpha platform running OpenVMS or Digital UNI X, the SRM console is used to set the port speed, media (cable) type and boot protocols, and can also be used to test the module.
29 For example, to set the media ty pe and speed to F AST Twisted Pair, en ter the command: >>>set ewa0_mode FAST I f y ou will be remote booting via the Ethernet, y ou must also set the boot protocol to match that of the boot node. Ty pically OpenVMS uses MOP protocol and UNI X uses BOOTP.
