[Info-vax] ES47 expansion box problem

[Martin Vorländer]

Hello everyone,

I've been tasked with setting up and testing an ES47 with an I/O Expansion
box. The components have come from different sources.

I have set up the SMC NAT box according to the docs, and am connected to
the MBM via the serial management port of the ES47.

When I power up the expansion box, I see "duplicate IP address 0xa0000001"
error messages in the MBM. When removing power from the ES47, powering up
the expansion box, connecting my laptop to the NAT box and telnetting to
10.0.0.1 I find myself in a MBM shell, which I guess s provided by the
expansion box' PBM module.

I have read that MBM and PBM are both loaded from the same firmware, so my
question at this point is: How do I get the PBM module to act like a PBM
micro (with the appropriate IP address)?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

cu,
Martin
