This chapter describes how to verify the installation of FTP, and how to update the configuration of the local area network (LAN) link for Ethernet support.

If you are installing a new MPE/iX system and link or are updating to a new release of MPE/iX, refer to the HP 3000 MPE/iX Installation, and Update Manual or the HP 3000 MPE/iX System Software Maintenance Manual.

To configure a new network link, refer to the NS 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide, and then return to this manual. If you are providing Ethernet support, remember to update the LAN Configuration screen Enable Ethernet field to yes (Y).
