| Response to .0 from Digital UNIX EtherWORKS driver developer:
>>The feature I believe that you're talking about is "Autonegotiation"...
>>
>>Autosensing is something entirely different.
>>
>>To enable autonegotiation, you need to set the 'mode' variable in the
>>console. An example of this would be;
>>
>> >>> set ewa0_mode auto-negotiate
>>
>> >>> init
>>
>>
>>Then you can boot the system, and the auto negotiation feature will be
>>enabled.
>>
>>I have no idea what version of firmware you need to support setting the
>>"auto" mode... But try it and see if it works.

| 1260.3 | OpenVMS and auto | EVMS::JSTICKNEY | Jay Stickney, OpenVMS LAN Eng., 381-2020, ZK3-4/T12 | Fri Feb 14 1997 12:48 | 16 |
| For OpenVMS:
Device Autosense Autonegotiation
--------- --------- ---------------
DE500-XA yes no
DE500-AA yes yes
DE500-BA yes yes
Some consoles have removed the EWA0_MODE selection of AUTO (for
autosensing) but an autosense can still be done from LANCP once
VMS is up. The rest of the modes, including autonegotiation, can
be set at the console or from LANCP.
For OpenVMS versions that support these adapters see 1261.2.
Jay.
