CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Connecting a Network Management Console
If that does not work, and there is at least a garbled output on the screen, try pushing
the unlabelled system request button on the switch. As soon as garbled characters
appear, press the console’s
RETURN
key twice in rapid succession. (Again, try the
other command keys as necessary).
If there is still a problem, try the following steps:
1. Check all of the cable connections.
2. Check the baud rate at the console’s set up screen; if it is not set to 9600, try that
setting.
3. Try setting the console baud rate to different values up or down, and pressing
RETURN
for each selection.
4. If you are using a terminal emulation program, try exiting the program and
restarting.
5. If you still can not get the connection to work, contact technical support as
described in Chapter 11, “Getting in Touch with Technical Support”.
Diagnostic Screen
The diagnostic self-test displays two different screens (lists of information),
depending on whether you perform a cold boot (power on cycle with full
diagnostics), or a warm boot (a reset without full diagnostics).
During a cold boot, the following abbreviated list is an example of messages
(depending upon several factors, such as hardware, options, software version
levels) that appears on the console screen as the tests are performed. The warm boot
contains portions of the complete cold boot list.
The following is an example of a diagnostic screen during a boot process (the actual
screen may vary depending on such things as hardware, options, software version
levels and other factors):
