INTRODUCTION
1.2.4 LANVIEW LEDs
Cabletron Systems' adapters incorporate Cabletron Systems'
LANVIEW Status Monitoring and Diagnostic System. The
LANVIEW LEDs help you diagnose problems, such as failure to
establish a twisted pair link between the adapter and a device at
the far end of the link. Individual LEDs advise you when the
adapter is sending and receiving data packets, when wire faults
occur in the lobe link, and the operating speed of histogen-Ring. A
more detailed description of the functions of the individual LEDs
appears in Chapter 2, Installation.
1.2.5 Software
Software drivers, related software, and diagnostics are supplied by
Cabletron Systems on floppy diskettes shipped with the adapter.
The drivers support a variety of network platforms. For network
software installation instructions, refer to the Network Software
Installation Guide that accompanies the software.
The diagnostic program provided with the adapter is user-friendly
and menu-driven and does not require detailed instructions. With
the diagnostic program you can check the adapter's operation at
various levels, through a series of tests. The diagnostic program
detects where problems might be located in the operation of the
adapter, or determines if a problem exists in the communication
between the adapter and the computer.
1.2.6 Statistics
Statistics can be gathered from the adapter either from your
computer, or from another workstation utilizing Cabletron
Systems' SPECTRUM, Remote LANVIEW/Windows, Remote
®
LANVIEW for SunNet Manager
, or other SNMP-compliant
network management software. Through this software, you can
gather statistics on the adapter's activity on the network. For
further information on Local Statistics, refer to the Network
Software Installation Guide.
