Reference Guide for the Model RM356 Modem Router

Connected hub or workstation

Make sure that the connected hub or workstation is powered on.

Ethernet cable

If you are connecting the router LAN port directly to a workstation or to the uplink (MDI) port of another hub, use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable such as the one provided.

Connection to another hub

If you are extending your network by connecting the router to another hub, verify that you are using the correct combination of cable and port. If you are connecting a LAN port of the Model RM356 Modem Router to the uplink (MDI) port of another hub, use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable such as the one provided. If there is a switch associated with the uplink port of the connecting hub, make sure that the switch is in the uplink (MDI) position. If you are connecting a LAN port of the Model RM356 Modem Router to a normal (MDI-X) port of another hub, you must use a crossover cable.

Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using a Ping Utility

Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP network is made very easy by using the ping utility in the built-in Manager interface (Menu 24.4) or in your PC or workstation.

Testing the LAN Path to Your Router

To verify that the LAN path to your router is set up correctly, from the Windows 95

(or Windows NT® ) Run menu, type Ping and the IP address of the router. Press the Enter key.

You should see a message like this one:

Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data

If the path is working, you see this message:

Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx

If the path is not working, you see this message:

Request timed out
