Hey there folks,
Well, it's been solved here before, but
since I wasted a day of my time (& Shannan's @ Southwest Data Tech's
too), thought I might just
post it for ya'll to put in that 3Com
headache folder you have like I do.
"New" (to me...) HiperARC cards,
console is fine, but only through the initial post & gets only to the
2nd line, which is
Kernal loading ......... OK
...then sits and does
nothing.
Now mind you, the card DOES work, but
lacking an ability to get into it and set an IP address is a
problem.
Flip DIP SWITCH 5 ON
And this will go away and it'll but just
fine for you. Someone somewhere knows why, not I, not super caring, either, I
was able to do me lil' setup script and drive away happy.
Another helpful reminder: Be sure to change
password/delete adm account if you don't use it/use an alternate. Default I
think is still no password. Joel Fox will find you and make
consulting
work for himself otherwise. (kidding kidding
kidding!) Since the cards you get now...may not be brand new, that sheet o'
paper in the box saying this thing isn't there anymore.
Two lil' duh's for you....
Have a fine Memorial Day
weekend.
SMT
PS: Shannan @ Southwest Data is a gem of a
fellow. What incredible customer service. He overnighted me a 2nd card set &
was extremely available and helpful.
Buy some stuff from him, he deserves the
business! (ahem...not that anyone doesn't, I was just super duper pleased). Boy
if you don't have backup ARC's/DSP's, hanging around,
this is the time to buy them.
