Re: Problems to connect IBM 5494 ethernet controller on an iSeries 520 v5r3

Depends on the speed of the ethernet adapter...

I recall that the newer(faster) do not support SDLC and
that it requires the older adapters ie: 10/100/1000 adapters.

I can't recall the exact feature numbers but somewhere in
the sales info is which supports and which does not....

Look at the feature code on the box that's working and see
if you are using the "exact" same ethernet adapter on both
520's.

Hi,

it looks like the ethernet line on my iseries is not compatible with the APPC controller defined on my ibm 5494 controller. When i vary on my appc ctl, i'm getting the following message: A controller running over a protocol other than TCP/IP is not compatible with this hardware. Recovery: Use the Work with Controller Descriptions (WRKCTLD) command to change the switched line list parameter (SWTLINLST) to use a compatible line. I changed SWTLINLST parm but i still have the same problem. **I'm using the same controller on another iseries, and it's working fine. Thanks. Eric Vaillancourt
