Testing The Ethernet Installation - Digital Equipment VAX 4000 Model 100 Operator Instructions Manual

3.5 Testing the Ethernet Installation

When you complete the network installation procedure, follow these steps to
test the installation:
1. Set the system unit on/off switch to the on ( | ) position.
2. Enter the following command to test the installation:
Run test 5F with the first parameter set to 0 (default) to test the SGEC chip
using internal loopback mode. An example of success is shown by the console
prompt returning without any messages as shown in the next two examples.
>>>t 5f
>>>
Another example of test success is shown with test 5F first parameter set
to 1 to test the SGEC chip using external loopback mode. This requires a
terminator on the selected ethernet port, either thin wire or thick wire. If the
test is run while connected to an active net, it may fail.
>>>t 5f 1
>>>
If the device fails the self-test, the system responds with a display similar to the
following:
>>>t 5f 1
