Verifying Network Connections

Before attempting to communicate with the E2050 LAN/GPIB Gateway, you may want to verify that the network connection and cabling are correct. Do the following:

1Verify proper connections and network terminations visually (see Chapter 2 ).

2Power on the LAN/GPIB Gateway and check for hardware failure (red Fault LED remains ON). The red Fault LED is illuminated briefly at power-on to verify its operation.

NOTE

If a hardware fault occurs during the power-on, hardware self-test, the Fault LED is illuminated and remains illuminated. In this case, contact Agilent. Service is required only if the Fault LED remains illuminated.

3Make sure network packets are being transmitted on the same local subnet that is connected to the Gateway. The packets do not need to be addressed to go to the Gateway. You could use the ping command to generate network traffic.

4If the LAN Rx LED is flashing, the Gateway is reading packets being sent over the local subnet. This means that you have a network connection. The LAN Conn LED and LAN Tx LED may be flashing even if you do not have a connection to the network.
