Step 6: Start the Secondary Console Devices  



If you decide to use the Ethernet port, you may need to inform the console which media type and connection you intend to use: AUI, UDP, or twisted pair. The console and operating system determine which to use, but you can assign a specific media type by entering the following commands:
P00>>> SHOW NETWORK
 
P00>>> SET EWA0_MODE TWISTED
The first command displays a list of available network devices. The second command establishes the default media type for the specified device (EWA0 in this example). This should be done for all Ethernet devices before initializing the secondary consoles.
