Installing a QNX network
Senstar 100 Installation guide • • • 4 - 19
Other helpful commands include:
To create or edit the netmap file
1. Type
# qed /etc/config/netmap.
2. Edit the
netmap
file.
Verifying network status
1. To determine the QNX network status, list all CUs seen via the network by
typing
# sin net
.
2. Determine the local computer node ID by typing
# echo $NODE.
3. Monitor the Network status by typing
# netinfo.
4. View usage details on any QNX command by typing
# use cmd.
If the Ethernet network cards are installed and the computers
are connected to the network, the QNX LAN will be active
when the CUs are restarted. The network must still be
configured with Senstar 100’s Site Creation.
Setting network communications in Site Creation
1. Set the CUs to communicate using the network in the Site Creation utility.
2. In the Site Creation hardware configuration menus, configure the hardware
for each CU to include a network card, and set the node ID number for each
CU.
If possible, keep the node number and CU number the same for each CU.
3. Within the communication port assignments, assign
NETWORK
to the
communication port used between the CUs.
4. Regenerate and activate the new site database.
