Greetings,
I have a couple of questions about VS2000 i would like to known.
1. Nowdays it should be possible to connect a VS2000 to a thick Ethernet
with a H4000 (or should it?). Have anybody done this with H4000 or
other trancievers.
2. I could't find how to interpreat the configuration ( that what TEST 50
gives). I found what most of the fields stands for, exept hoe to
interpreat the "error code". For example I get for the NI device following
NI 00100.00001 V1.3
and would like to know what 100 is for (it not marked as software
error ( ? ) or hardware error ( ?? ).
3. And the last one. I try to boot a satellitite ( Satellite_config has
been run, and ethernet address is OK, and NCP database should be OK)
but it will not succed. The bootmember's console displays an errormessage
it from DECNET
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 15-APR-1988 14:01:22.29 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user DECNET on XYZZY
DECnet event 0.7, aborted service request
From node 1.62 (XYZZY), 15-APR-1988 14:01:59.07
Circuit QNA-0, Line open error, Line communication error
%SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT, device timeout
Node = 1.122 (ATEST)
The other Satellite node boots correctly (no problem at all, its a
MicroVax II)
Many Thanks in Advance.

I plugged the thickwire interface into a ChipCom EtherModem with a transceiver cable. Works fine, so should work also with H4000, I suppose. > 2.

I don't know what it is, but it's not an error. The cover page in my hardware manual (first page inside the cover) says that either NI 0000.00001 or NI 0100.00001 are OK responses to test 50.
