verify connection.

1.Verify network connection to Fabric:

Check that the correct IP address for the Fabric is entered in the Fabric Display. If the address is incorrect, then enter the correct IP address for the network switch in the Fabric.

Verify that the gateway address is correctly configured on the workstation. If the gateway is incorrect, then configure the correct gate- way.

Verify that the Fabric is accessible through the network. For example, ping the switch and verify that responses are not being dropped. If the Fabric is not accessible, then diagnose network the problem, or try to access the Fabric from a different workstation.

Try to access the Fabric from a workstation on the same subnetwork as the Fabric. If the Fabric is manageable on the same subnetwork, but is not manageable through a network gateway, then examine the network configuration (gateway address, subnet mask, etc.) on the network switch to verify that it is correct..

Examine the switch itself. Verify that the switch is powered on, and that the heartbeat LED is blinking normal ly. If the heartbeat indicates an error, then contact customer support.
