- Don't forget that the Ethernet device gets configured when DECnet
- is started, not before. It's ESA0 on a VS2000...your MV2000 should
- be the same.
-
- Also, on the back of the system box, above the power cable, is a
- black switch with two positions: A and B. Put the switch in the A
- position if you want to use the ThinWire (BNC) connector, use the B
- position if you're hooking to a transceiver connector.

- Here's "Table 2-2: Power-up and Self-Test Display Identifiers" from
- my VS2000 hardware book:

- Under the Test 0 (System Exerciser) description, which claims to take
- 11 minutes to complete, the manual states:
-
- Single question markls <in the output display> provide status
- information and do not interfere with the operation of the
- system.
-
- Double question marks indicate errors. Note the mnemonic asso-
- ciated with the question mark...
