Troubleshooting In A Workstation Environment - Agilent Technologies 1660C Series User Manual

Troubleshooting in a workstation environment

Verify the communications link.
1
Verify the communications link between the computer and the logic analyzer
remote file server using the ping utility.
ping [hostname|IP Address] 64 10
Hostname is the name assigned to the logic analyzer remote file server in
the node names database (usually /etc/hosts). Most workstation
platforms permit an IP address to be used in place of hostname. In the
example above, packet size is 64 and 10 packets are transmitted.
To aid in troubleshooting, go to the LAN Settings Ethernet Statistics menu on
the logic analyzer. You can view transmit and receive activity on this menu.
If needed, refer to "Network Status Information" in this section for more
information about the Ethernet Statistics menu.
•
Normal Response
A normal response to the ping will be a total of 9, 10, or possibly 11
packets received with a minimal average of round-trip time. The
minimal average will be different from network to network. LAN
traffic will cause the round-trip time to vary widely.
Because the number of packets received depends on your network
traffic and integrity, the normal number might be different for your
network.
For every packet transmitted and received because of the ping
command, the Transmit Successful and Receive Successful fields in
the logic analyzer Ethernet Statistics menu increases by 1.
Go to step 2, "Attempt a remote NFS mount."
•
Error Messages
If error messages appear, then check the command syntax before
continuing with the troubleshooting. If the syntax is correct, then
resolve the error messages using your network documentation.
If an unknown host error message appears, then check the node
names database (usually /etc/hosts) to see that the hostname and
IP address are correctly entered.
