Configuring the 128-Port Asynchronous ISA Adapter

Note: ISA adapters are supported only on AIX Version 4.1 systems (or later).

This procedure describes how to use SMIT to configure a 128-port asynchronous EIA 232 ISA adapter.

Prerequisites

• The devices.isa.cxia128 software package is installed for the ISA 128-port adapter.
• All RAN connections are local to the system. There is no remote RAN attached using a modem.

Procedure

1. Use the smit mkdev_isa fast path.
2. Select cxia from the list of adapters displayed on the screen.
3. Select the appropriate bus and press Enter.
4. Select Bus I/O Address and set the address to the address of the adapter (set by DIP switches on the adapter). Refer to the 128 Port Asynchronous ISA Adapter Installation Guide for more information about DIP switches. The remainder of the adapter configuration is done automatically when the system displays cxia Available.
5. Exit the SMIT interface.
