Conﬁguring Token Ring

Conﬁguration Using SAM

Chapter 2 41

3. Double click Network Interface Cards at the Networking and

Communications window.

4. Highlight the Token Ring interface card that you want to conﬁgure

from the object list. If the card isnot displayed, then go to Chapter 1,

Installing Token Ring, and check that your hardware has been

properly installed.

Model 712: The SAM object list always shows the name of the

built-in LAN (IEEE802.3/Ethernet) as lan0, and the networking card

in the slot in the backplane as lan1, whether it is an Ethernet or

Token Ring card. If the ring speed has not been set, the card status

may be “Disabled” or “Not conﬁgured.”

HP 9000 EISA: The SAM object list always shows the name of the

built-in LAN (IEEE802.3/Ethernet) as lan0, and the ﬁrst networking

card in an EISA slot as lan1, whether it is Ethernet or Token Ring.

The networking cards installed in other slots are named sequentially

(lan2, lan3, etc.), according to the order of the occupied slots.

Series 800 HP-PB: If the system includes the pre-installed Token

Ring option, it is lan0. If the system does not contain a built-in Token

Ring card and your card is the ﬁrst Token Ring card added to the

system, it is lan1.

5. Verify that the hardware path is correct for your Token Ring card.

Model 712: The hardware path will be 5/0/7.

HP 9000 EISA: The last number of the hardware path should match

the backplane slot number of the card. For example, if the hardware

path is 4/0/3, then the card should be in slot 3.

Series 800 HP-PB: The hardware path should equal 4 times the

hardware module number in which the card has been installed. For

example, if the hardware path is 32, then the card should be in

hardware module 8.

6. Choose Configure from the “Actions” menu to open the Conﬁgure

LAN Card window. Enter the information about the Token Ringcard.

To do so, press the Tab key to move through the data entry ﬁelds.
