Configuring Your System
AlphaServer 1000A Rackmount Owner’s Guide 6-13
Setting Network Configuration
Any network device is initially set to AUI mode, which is preserved in memory until the
network type is changed using the following command:
>>> set ewx0_mode
mode_name
In this command, x identifies the controller, and mode_name is the mode to be selected.
To determine the controller ID, use the
show config
command (see Example 6-2) or
the
show device
command (see Example 6-3). Refer to the following configuration
command examples to set the network configuration for the network option card:
>>> set ewa0_mode twisted-pair
(10BASE-T/twisted-pair network)
>>> set ewa0_mode full
(Full-duplex, twisted-pair network)
>>> set ewa0_mode aui
(AUI/standard network)
>>> set ewa0_mode bnc
(ThinWire network)
Mode names can be abbreviated; the system prompts you with correct names if you enter
an invalid name. To verify the network setting, use the
show
command:
>>> show ew*
_________________________ Caution ___________________________
Modes for all network devices should be reassigned whenever a network device
is moved, installed, or removed because associations between devices and the
device names and modes they are set to may be altered.

Keyboard Type
Your system comes equipped with a 101-key enhanced keyboard that allows you to
communicate with your system by entering data or commands. Note that some European
language keyboards have 102 keys.
Use the ARC console Setup menu to change the keyboard configuration.
Refer to your operating system or application software documentation for software-
specific key functions.
