Troubleshooting
Problem:
The MAXserver 1600 does not appear to load from the network, or is slow to load from
the network.
Correct Operation:
The load server downloads a software image and (optionally) parameters to the MAXserver 1600, over the
network, whenever the unit is powered on or re-initialized.
After the software and (optionally) parameters have been downloaded from the load server, the RUN
light should blink once every second. Then, if you type several <RETURN>s at a terminal connected
to any serial port, the following message should appear:
Welcome to the Xyplex Terminal Server.
Enter username>_
Possible Solutions:
The MAXserver generates several messages during the load process, which can help you resolve
loading problems. To see the messages, press <RETURN> several times at a terminal connected to a
MAXserver serial port, when the unit begins the loading process. (When you do this, the serial port
adjusts to the communication speed of the terminal. This process is called "autobauding".) The port
light should go ON when you press <RETURN>.
If you type <CTRL><T> now, the unit will display the load server offer table when it receives load offers.
(Only one <CTRL><T> is required.)
Refer to the following message descriptions for assistance in correcting loading problems. Note that each
<RETURN> generates a single message. You must press <RETURN> every 5 - 10 seconds to receive
updated messages. Also, if the load process takes place very quickly, you might miss some of the
messages.
1. If the MAXserver 1600 is not connected to the network, you see one of the following messages when
you
press <RETURN>:
