Adding an Adapter at Initial Configuration
Question How do I add an adapter to the software configuration when the IBM
2216 is being initially configured?
Answer First, perform installation of the 2216 and install any additional adapters
into the 2216.
¹
When the 2216 is initially installed, it does not have any software
configuration.
¹
The operating system will put you at the Config only> prompt.
1
Enter add device type of device.
Note: The steps only create the interface. You still have to use
the net command to configure characteristics unique to that
interface (for example, T/R, Ethernet, PPP, FR, SDLC, X.25). You
also need to use the protocol command to configure protocols on
the interface.
For example, add device token
or, add device ? to see a list of device choices
2
Enter the device slot number (1–8).
3
If you are adding an interface on a single-port adapter, go to step
4 on page F-5. Otherwise, continue with this step.
Enter the port number (0–7, depending on the type of adapter).
The range of port numbers supported depends on the multi-port
adapter type:
¹
For the Token-Ring (FC 2280) and Ethernet (FC 2281)
adapters, port numbers 1 and 2 are supported.
¹
For the 8-port EIA-232E/V.24 (FC 2282) and 8-port X.21
adapters, port numbers 0–7 are supported.
¹
For the 6-port V.35/V.36 (FC 2290) adapter, port numbers 0–5
are supported.
