4.3 Connecting to a Standard Ethernet Network
This section describes how to connect the InfoServer 150 system to a standard
Ethernet system. First, you must check the position of the network select
button.
4.3.1 Check the Network Select Button
To use standard Ethernet on your system, press the network select button
on the rear of the system unit so that the button is in the out position
(Section 4.1). When you turn on your system, the green light near the standard
Ethernet connector will turn on. The ThinWire Ethernet light is off. You are
ready to connect to a standard Ethernet.
4.3.2 Verify Your Standard Ethernet Network Installation
To verify standard Ethernet installation, you must attach the 15-pin standard
Ethernet loopback connector to your system unit.
1.
Turn on your system. A power-up display similar to the following appears:
F_..E...D...C...B...A...9_..8...7...6...5...4_..3_..2_..1
The light at the end of the loopback connector should be on.
The console prompt
(>>>)
appears.
2.
Enter the following command:
>>> TEST 50
Return
The system responds with another display. If the last line of the display is
NI 0100.0001, the Ethernet subsystem is installed and working.
If a number between 0100.0002 and 0100.7000 appears on this line, there
is a failure in the Ethernet subsystem.
If NI 0100.7000 or any number above 0100.7000 appears on that line,
check all Ethernet connections.
3.
After verifying the network successfully, remove the loopback connector and
store it for future diagnostic testing. Connect your system to a transceiver
cable, as described in the next section.
If you have problems, see Section 4.3.4.
