Troubleshooting the LAN Connection
Troubleshooting the Initial Connection
Troubleshooting in a workstation environment
1Verify the communications link.
Verify the communications link between the computer and the logic
analyzer remote file server using the ping utility.
ping [hostname|IP Address] 64 10
Hostname is the name assigned to the logic analyzer remote file server
in the node names database (usually /etc/hosts). Most workstation
platforms permit an IP address to be used in place of hostname. In the
example above, packet size is 64 and 10 packets are transmitted.
To aid in troubleshooting, go to the LAN Settings Ethernet Statistics
menu on the logic analyzer. You can view transmit and receive activity
on this menu. If needed, refer to "Network Status Information" in this
section for more information about the Ethernet Statistics menu.
•Normal Response
A normal response to the ping will be a total of 9, 10, or possibly 11 packets
received with a minimal average of round-trip time. The m inimal average
will be different from network to network. LAN traffic will cause the
round-trip time to vary widely.
Because the number of packets received depends on your network traffic
and integrity, the normal number might be different for y our network.
For every packet transmitted and received because of the ping command,
the Transmit Successful and Receive Successful fields in the logic analyz er
Ethernet Statistics menu increases by 1.
Go to step 2, "Attempt a remote NFS mount."
