be operational.
To verify the operation of the LAN connection:
1. Connect the SmartSwitch Remote Access Module to the SmartSwitch 9000's properly
terminated Ethernet LAN connection.
2. Transmit a test packet onto the Ethernet LAN. At the administration console type:
lan test <return>
This command will display a message similar to the following:
LAN port 1 Transmit was successful
If the system displays this message, then the test packet was transmitted correctly.
If this message IS NOT displayed, then the LAN connection failed. Refer to
