Setting up an ARCNET QNX network
Perform the following five steps to set up your ARCNET network. Each step is
either explained in detail further in this section, or a reference is made to the
identical section in
Setting up an Ethernet QNX network
1. Load all of the QNX licenses on each CU.
2. Determine the driver for the network card, and add the Net and Net driver
commands to the
sysinit
file.
3. Create or edit the
netmap
file on all computers in the network.
4. Verify the QNX network status.
5. Set up the Senstar 100 site data to use the network for CU communications.
Loading QNX licenses
1. Load all of the QNX licenses on each CU by typing
# license.
2. When prompted, insert and remove each of the QNX license key disks from
the floppy drive.
3. When all of the QNX licenses have been loaded, type the following:
# license -r
:refreshes the loaded license
# licinfo -a
:lists the licenses to verify that they are all
loaded (i.e.,
qnx 0/2
indicates that two QNX
licenses have been loaded)
In a multi-CU system, you MUST install all license disks on each
CU. For additional information, see
Determining the driver
1. When prompted, type
# nettrap query
.
A response displays that starts the QNX network manager (Net) if it is not
already running. A list of drivers for each card installed in the system displays,
followed by the
netmap
command. For example:
Net &
Net.arcnet -mCC00 -l1 &
netmap -f
2. To automatically start the drivers when the system boots, edit the
sysinit
file
on network node 1, with the QNX editor, by typing:
# qed /etc/config/sysinit.1
