3.6 INSTALLATION CHECKOUT
After the IRM3 is connected to the network, verify that packets can be
passed between the two Ethernet network segments through the IRM3. As
in the pre-installation checkout, use two workstations set up as file server
and client. Keep the server workstation stationary in the wiring closet
with the IRM3, and use the client workstation to move around to each
node that is connected to the IRM3 (Figure 3-7).
You can verify the installation checkout by performing the following
steps:
1. Connect the server workstation to either a MIM, using the appropriate
cable and transceiver, or to the IRM3 through either the AUI port,
using a transceiver and an AUI cable, or to the Fiber Optic port,
using fiber optic cable.
2. Going to each node connected to the MMAC, connect the client
workstation and proceed to test the segment.
If a failure occurrs, refer to Chapter 5, Troubleshooting, for further
assistance.
NOTE
A “ping” test will verify that the IRM3 is operating properly.
