2. The MSS tries to obtain TCP/IP configuration information via BOOTP and
RARP. This procedure takes approximately 20 seconds if no hosts answer the
request. During this step, the OK LED blinks green approximately three times
per second, and occasionally yellow as packets are sent and received.
NOTE: For more information on BOOTP and RARP, refer to your operating system’s
documentation.
3. The MSS determines if the code in the Flash ROMs is valid. If so, it loads the
code and begins normal execution. This step takes approximately five seconds.
When the unit is running normally, the OK LED blinks green once every two seconds. If data is
being transmitted on the Ethernet port, the OK LED blinks yellow. The Serial LED blinks red when
characters are transmitted through the serial port, green when characters are received, and yellow
when characters are both transmitted and received.
2.4 Is It Working?
If the MSS appears to be working and the unit is connected to the network, there are four ways to
confirm that it is working correctly:
• If there is a terminal attached, press the Return key and log in. If you
are able to log in, the server is running normally.
• If an IP address has been configured for the MSS (see IP Address Config-
uration on page 3-1), ping the MSS from a TCP/IP host.
Figure 2-11: Pinging the MSS
• Perform a test using the Test command.
When you are satisfied that the MSS is working properly, proceed to Chapter 3, Getting Started. If
the server does not boot properly, see Appendix B, Troubleshooting.
