NIC Setup and Testing
37
Section 6: NIC Setup and Testing
The NIC has a specific setup that must be in place before the
card will function properly. There are jumpers on the board that
must be in the correct locations. The positions of these jumpers
are numbered on the board itself. A small triangle silk screened
on the board represents pin 1 for each set of pins to which
jumpers may be applied.
JUMPER PLACEMENTS
J13, J14, and J18 on the board must have jumpers installed on
them.
J32 must have a jumper installed on pins 2 and 3.
J28 jumper positions will apply to future capabilities, but are not
currently usable on the NIC.
Your card was shipped with the jumpers properly installed.
TESTING THE NETWORK
“Ping” is a tool used to test the network. At the command
prompt, type, “ping <address of card>”. Ping will respond that it
received a reply from the card if the card is functioning properly
on the network.
If the card is not functioning properly or is not connecting to the
network, ping will respond that the request it sent to the card has
timed out.
If the ping request times out, go to the Service Terminal to verify
that the card initialized the network when it powered up. If the
card is sitting at the text “Initializing network…” then the card
has not connected to the network. Hit <enter> to go into the
Service Terminal. Select number 2 for the Network Interface
Menu. Verify that you have the boot mode set up correctly. If
you choose a static IP Address, verify that the IP Address is
valid for your network.
If you obtain your network information from a BootP or DHCP
server, verify that the server is valid and that it is responding to
