Installing a QNX network
Senstar 100 Installation guide • • • 4 - 17
Loading QNX licenses
All of the QNX network licenses are included on one disk, which is loaded during
the operating system installation. For old style licenses, follow the procedure in
Setting up an ARCNET QNX network
. The following QNX command is useful for
verifying QNX networks:
# 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)
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.ether1000 -p300 -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
3. Copy the lines output by the
nettrap query
after the line
emu87 &
and
before the line
nameloc &.
Troubleshooting PCI Ethernet card drivers
If the
nettrap
query does not indicate a driver, it may still be possible to locate
one. For instance, it may be possible to use the
Net.via
driver with a PCI card.
Sometimes, you may need to pass two additional arguments, vendor and device
ID of the PCI card, to the driver. These arguments may be found in the output of
the
show_pci
command. The
Net.via
driver’s Help files show how to pass the
arguments.
