Troubleshooting
9. If the Terminal Server 720 is configured to load parameters from the network (rather than
on the memory card), the unit requests a parameter file from the parameter server
1
. If a
parameter file is not sent from the server, the Terminal Server 720 will wait indefinitely
for the parameter file.
The following message types can be generated during the parameter file load sequence.
The process is similar to the load process:
Terminal Server, Type 76, Rev x.xx.x
Ethernet address 08-00-87-xx-xx-xx, port x
Requesting parameter load service
A message similar to the preceding one is displayed while the Terminal Server 720 waits
for a response to the parameter load request. If this message remains displayed for more
than 5 seconds after you type several RETURNs, the Terminal Server 720 is not configured
on a load server for parameter load service. Refer to the Software Installation Guide
supplied with your software kit.
Terminal Server, Type 76, Rev x.xx.x
Ethernet address 08-00-87-xx-xx-xx, port x
Loading parameters over Link L1 from server xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx,
message 0
Link L1 refers to the Ethernet transceiver cable, 10Base-T network cable, or FOIRL cable;
that is, the server is loading parameters via the LAN. If the message count remains at zero
after you type several RETURNs, the load server is properly configured, but does not have a
defined parameter file.

By default, the Terminal Server 720 loads its runtime parameters from the memory card.
However, you can configure the unit to load parameters from a network parameter server, or from
either a card or a network parameter server, using the Initialization Configuration menu. The
Configuration menu is described in Appendix C.
