The ifconfig command can be used to reconfigure the port. There is an update to the Ethernet driver to fix a number of defects. You need to contact the Customer Satisfaction Center and ask about a QF for the Ethernet Driver on 50 Series AWs. I don't remember the QF number. Regards, Alex

How is this example? It will look better if you put it in a file and use a courier (monospace) font. Watch how I use APPNAME. * I declare it (APP_NAME : SN0001;) to be the contents of SN0001 * I use it to get the value of a variable (CTLINT := :'APP_NAME':DMCOP.CTLINT;)
