Note:
the base station.
Connect the Service Kit PC directly to the RJ45 connector at the rear
of the reciter using an Ethernet cross-over cable.
Connect the Service Kit remotely, following the instructions in TN-
1142-AN.
2. Click Connect. The Connecting dialog box appears.
3. In the Connect to box, select the named connection for the base station
from the drop-down list. (This list displays connections that have recently
been used. The last-used connection appears first.) The connection type
must be 'Network connection.' If this connection does not appear, click
Connections to edit an existing connection or create a new one. For more
information, see "Setting Up and Configuring Connections" on page
4. Click Connect.
If the connection succeeds, the Log On dialog box appears.
If the status display shows "Connection failure. Remote host is not
responding," the Service Kit is unable to reach the base station.
If the status display shows "Connection refused by target machine," the
Service Kit has received a reply to its TCP message asking to connect, but
the connection request has been refused. This refusal could be sent by the
base station or by network equipment such as a router.
The base station will not accept connection requests in these situations:
After base station start-up (for 40-60 seconds)
After a Service Kit programs a configuration into the base station and
disconnects (the base station takes 30-40 seconds to re-check its Ethernet
interface configuration)
After the base station sends a Syslog or heartbeat message
(10–40 seconds)
When the Ethernet interface is being used by another Service Kit or CCI
connection
The Service Kit will keep trying to connect until you click Cancel. If
connecting remotely does not succeed after two minutes, you may be able
to use ping to see if the base station is accessible.
