Performing a Simple Network Test
To perform a simple network test
1.
Connect one Hopper Plus 120-24 to the LAN.
2.
Connect a PC from your network directly to the other Hopper Plus 120-24 (connect
with a 10/100 BaseT crossover cable if no hub is used).
Note:
Cabling between 10/100 BaseT nodes is generally done through a net-
work hub. To make a direct 10/100 BaseT connection between a Hopper Plus
120-24 and a PC, you need a standard crossover cable (swap pins 1&3; 2&6).
Simple Network Test Setup
3.
Power up each Hopper Plus 120-24 unit. Initially the LEDs should appear as follows:
4.
Create some network traffic to test the bridge (for example, transfer a file across the
bridge). The WIRE LED indicates the activity. See
Appendix C: Configuring a Simple
Data Network
, page 93
for more information.
5.
Repeat the steps for each remote you install.
6.
To test network configuration further, see
Appendix C: Configuring a Simple Data
Network
, page 93 for moreinformation about configuring simple peer-to-peer
networks.
