Re: twinax speed on i5 520

I created a data area to deal with the twinax enhancement issues:

crtdtaara dtaara(QSYS/CTL02) type(*char) value('FFFFFF')

Devices are dropping left and right.

My topology is:

830 twinax 2749 card to NBase fiber mux to workstations on ports 0,2,3,4,5,7.
i5 520 twinax 2749 card to NBase fiber mux to workstations on port 0

We are talking the same fiber mux here.

When the i5 is connected twinax devices on the 830 start dropping.
