Title Connectivity Protocols and Network Cards for QNX2
Ref. No. QNX.000000919
Category(ies) Network
Issue What are the supported connectivity protocols and network cards for QNX2?
Solution QSSL only supports Corman Arcnet cards with QNX2.  For information on the Corman Arcnet card which works with QNX2 go to http://www.cormantech.com/ctn108.html

To
order the card call QNX customer service at 1-800-363-9001 and ask about the CT-N108 (QNET Card QNX Part Number: 003049)

The Corman Arcnet card is very specific to a 8.33Mhz ISA bus. You should always ensure that the bus speed to the card is set no higher than 8.33Mhz.  As well, it may be desired to disable caching of the area of memory that the network card uses. This may or not be an issue depending on the machine.  Throughput is on the order of 90Kbytes per second.

There is also ip support for ethernet available through some third-party vendors. To search our Partners section go to:
