9 Troubleshooting

This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC).

NIC Start-up Sequence

NIC LEDs

The NIC should go through the following start-up sequence upon power up:

1.The NIC will run through a set of power-up diagnostics for a few seconds. If the NIC is operating properly, the red TEST LED will blink momentarily and then go out. If the TEST LED blinks continuously, there is a problem. If this is the case, first verify that you have a good Ethernet connection and then try powering the unit off and then on again.

NIC Factory Defaults

2.If this does not work, try pressing the push button switch on the NIC for at least 5 seconds (factory defaults) and powering the NIC off and then on again. If the problem persists, the NIC may be defective.

It will then try for a few seconds to obtain TCP/IP configuration information via BOOTP and RARP.

3.The print server will then check that the code in the Flash- ROMs is valid. If so, it will load that code and begin normal execution.

Once the Flash code has been loaded and the unit is running normally, the yellow 100baseT LED will come on solid if a 100baseT connection is detected and the green LINK OK LED lights when a valid link is established. If the lights do not come on as described, there may be a cabling problem or a bad hub port. If necessary, try a different cable and/or hub port.

NIC Configuration Page

4.Generate a NIC configuration page as described in Chapter 2 to verify that the connection between the printer and the NIC is good. If the test fails, turn the printer off and reinstall the NIC making sure that it is securely seated.
