To Test for Network Connectivity

If you have connected the analyzer to a workstation, do the following:

∙Use the UNIX ping command to verify that the analyzer is up and running on your network. The syntax of the ping command may vary from site to site. See your system administrator or the UNIX online man pages for more details. If you cannot ping to the analyzer, check all of the cable connections and conﬁguration parameters.

∙Check that you have given xhost authority for the analyzer to connect to your X-display. See your system administrator or the UNIX online man pages for more details.

If you are using the notebook PC, click the Ping icon in the Acadia/Vxd program group. Ping the notebook PC and the analyzer separately using their hostnames.
