CTC.
Table 1-7 describes the potential cause of the symptom and the solution.
Table 1-6 Unable to Verify the NIC Connection on Your Microsoft Windows PC
Possible Problem Solution
The CAT-5 cable is not
plugged in properly.
Confirm that both ends of the cable are properly inserted. If the cable is not
fully inserted due to a broken locking clip, the cable should be replaced.
The CAT-5 cable is
damaged.
Ensure that the cable is in good condition. If in doubt, use a cable known to
be good. Often, cabling is damaged due to pulling or bending.
Incorrect type of CAT-5
cable is being used.
If you are connecting an ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA directly to your
Microsoft Windows laptop/PC or a router, use a straight-through CAT-5
cable. When connecting the node to a hub or a LAN switch, use a crossover
CAT-5 cable.
For details on the types of CAT-5 cables, see the “1.12.2.1 Crimp
Replacement LAN Cables” procedure on page 1-88.
The NIC is improperly
inserted or installed.
If you are using a Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (PCMCIA)-based NIC, remove and reinsert the NIC to make
sure the NIC is fully inserted.
If the NIC is built into the Microsoft Windows laptop/PC, verify that the NIC
is not faulty.
The NIC is faulty. Confirm that the NIC is working properly. If you have no issues connecting
to the network (or any other node), then the NIC should be working
correctly.
If you have difficulty connecting to the network (or any other node), then the
NIC might be faulty and needs to be replaced.
Table 1-7 Verify Microsoft Windows PC Connection to ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA (Ping)
Possible Problem Solution
A lost connection
between the Microsoft
Windows PC and the
ONS 15310-CL or
ONS 15310-MA.
Use a standard ping command to verify the TCP/IP connection between the
Microsoft Windows PC and the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA port. A
ping command works if the Microsoft Windows PC connects directly to the
port or uses a LAN to access the port.
See the “Ping the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA” procedure on
page 1-69.
