Chapter 2: Connecting to a Host Computer
If "telnet" does not access the emulator
If "telnet" does not access the emulator
You must use the telnet command on the host computer to access the emulator's
built-in terminal interface. After powering up the emulator, it takes a minute before
the it can be recognized on the network. After a minute, try the telnet <internet
address> command.
If telnet does not make the connection:
Make sure that you have connected the emulator to the proper power source and
that the power light is lit.
Make sure that the LAN cable is connected. Refer to your LAN documentation for
testing connectivity.
Make sure the rear panel communication configuration switches are set correctly.
Switch settings are only used to set communication parameters when power is
turned OFF and then ON.
Make sure that the Internet Address is set up correctly. You must use the
RS-232/RS-422 port to verify this that the Internet Address is set up correctly.
While accessing the emulator via the RS-232/RS-422 port, run performance
verification on the LAN interface hardware with the lanpv command.
If telnet makes the connection, but no terminal interface prompt (for example, R>,
M>, U>, etc.) is supplied:
It's possible that the emulator interface software is in the process of running a
command (for example, if a repetitive command was initiated from telnet in
another window). You can use <CTRL>c to interrupt the repetitive command and
get the terminal interface prompt.
It's also possible for there to be a problem with the emulator firmware while the
LAN interface is still up and running. In this case, you must cycle power on the
emulator card cage.
