Dear Gurus,

Thanks the following folks:

Lucio Chiappetti <lucio_at_ifctr.mi.cnr.it>
John Files <jhf_at_dmu.ac.uk>
Brenden Phillips <B.C.Phillips_at_massey.ac.nz>
Fritz Kleemann <kleemann_at_informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de>
Kristin (Kris) Larsen klarsen_at_enterprise.afit.af.mil
Millard Simon <Simon.Millard_at_barclays.co.uk>
Nestor Ruiz <nruiz_at_hermes.bvl.com.pe>
Pamela Price <pam_at_meso.com>
Michael Springer <Springm_at_clmmp001.atsc.allied.com>

As explained in detail by Kris and others I had to set the
ethernet board to twisted pair in the following manner:

1) At the console prompt show the type of board(s) with

>>> sh ew*

   I found out it is ewa0 only.

2) Show the options of ewa0_mode with

>>> set ewa0_mode

3) Choose Twisted-Pair

>>> set ewa0_mode Twisted-Pair

4) Reboot and that's all.

Concerning to the VXT2000+ terminal, it is working now without any
human intervention.

Cheers from the Worldchampsland (almost),

original post:

We have a AlphaStation 400 4/233 with DU 3.2 and are moving our subnet
from thin wire to twisted pair cables. We have both AUI, which was
working properly, and RJ-45 connectors in the back of the box. We have
tried to connect the new RJ-45 but the network board is not responding
apparently. The new cables have been checked. Is it necessary any adjustment
to make the transition from AUI to RJ-45 ?

Something alike is happening with our VXT2000+ x-terminal.
