Folks
I have a problem with the DE500-XA. Customer is using it in his AXP
running OpenVMS V6.2-1h3. At the >>> he gets link LED lit, but when
DECNET attempts to start, it sees the card set at 100M/bits. Even
though from the console it is set at Twisted Pair.
I have had a look in LANCP and this intially reported the line speed
set at 100, and so did SDA. We set it to 10, and SDA reported the
change. Attempted a restart of DECNET but it just came back and said
the line speed was set to 100.
His sys$ewdriver is dated 26-apr-1996. Console firmware version is 3.8.
Could this be a problem with the device driver?

Folks
I have found that ALPBOOT05_062.A;1, is supposed to fix some of the
speed selection problem, and enable you to do this from LANCP. The
customer has agreed to install this.

Steven,
There's a ALPLAN04_O62 kit coming out soon. This kit will cause all
EW devices to look at the console environment variable (EWx0_MODE)
and set the link accordingly. The speed and mode selection problems
are fixed as well when set with LANCP.
Jay.
