TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter contains instructions for using LANVIEW LEDs to troubleshoot physical layer network problems. It also describes how to reset the SEHI and how to reset the NVRAM switch.

6.1INSTALLATION CHECKOUT

After connecting the SEHI to the network, verify that the packets pass between all Ethernet devices connected to the SEHI and any other devices connected to the network. If there is a problem with any of the attached devices, check the link as follows:

1.Check that the LNK LED, if applicable, for the port is on. If the LED is off, proceed with the following steps:

a.Check that the 10BASE-FL device at the other end of the fiber optic segment is powered up and that the TX and RX fibers are properly connected.

b.For twisted pair EPIMs such as the EPIM-T, verify that the connector on the twisted pair segment has the proper pinouts. Refer to Chapter 3 for the pin assignments for twisted pair connectors.

For the SEHI 10BASE-FL ports and the EPIM-F1, EPIM-F2, or EPIM-F3 check that the TX and RX fibers are properly connected.

c.Check the cable for continuity. Several tools are available for this test, depending on the media used.

d.Check that the twisted pair segments meet cable specifications for dB loss as described in Chapter 3.
