My CMOS battery is broken, so I have to reconfigure everything after
poweroff. How can I jumper the backplane??? or do you mean the transition
module?
I'll double check the termination and jumpers... (I also tried the
transition module from the old 147, which *must* have been ok, because it
worked. But then I'm not 110% sure if the module is supposed to work with
the 167)

It's the onboard controller, connected through 712 transition module.

Will have a look again.

Of course! But then I told the firmware before (had set the IP by niot)

I have a AUI/TP transceiver. Shouldn't be a problem, and transceiver is
borrowed from (formerly ;) ) working system.
