Troubleshooting the EISA PC Adapter

Troubleshooting the EISA PC Adapter

This chapter provides solutions to problems you may encounter when using your workgroup EISA PC adapter.

Troubleshooting with LEDs

Following are problems you may troubleshoot with the Status and RINGOP LEDs:

  In a single attachment configuration, if this LED is not on, make sure the EISA PC adapter is connected to the concentrator and to the RJ-45 or FDDI wall outlet. If both connections are good, check to see if there is a cable fault and if the concentrator is operational.
  In a dual attachment configuration, the RINGOP LEDs on both the single attachment adapter and dual attachment adapter work together to provide a visual indication of the state of your network. The information in Table 6-1 will help you determine whether your network is functioning properly.

Table 6-1:
RINGOP B2 - Off RINGOP B2 - Green RINGOP B2 - Orange
RINGOP A1 - Off

Ring is not operational.

Station is in WRAP_B. Ring is operational SAS. RING A is not connected DAS.

Ring is not operational. The station connected to PHY B is attempting to connect, but has failed.

RINGOP A1 - Green

Station is in WRAP_A. RING B is not connected.

Station is in THRU mode. Ring is operational.

Station is in WRAP_A. The station connected to PHY B is attempting to connect, but has failed.

RINGOP A1 - Orange

Ring is not operational. The station connected to PHY A is attempting to connect, but has failed.

Station is in WRAP_B. The station connected to PHY A is attempting to connect, but has failed. This is normal if the station is dual-homed.

Ring is not operational. The stations connected to PHYs A and B are attempting to connect, but have failed.

RINGOP LED Indicators
1. RINGOP A refers to the RINGOP LED on the dual attachment option or the lower RINGOP LED on the dual attachment adapter.
2. RINGOP B refers to the RINGOP LED on the single attachment adapter or the upper RINGOP LED on the dual attachment adapter.

EISA Configuration Utility Problems

If the EISA configuration utility does not detect the workgroup EISA PC adapter, do the following:

NetWare ODI Driver Errors

The following problems may occur when using the Netware ODI driver:

  Make sure that the release date codes or revisions of the other drivers are the most recent. Older server and client drivers may not be compatible with the workgroup CDDI/FDDI EISA PC adapter.
  If you are using TCP/IP, make sure you are using the latest version of the TCPIP.NLM and related files or the version supplied on your workgroup EISA PC Supplemental disk.
  Make sure the MONITOR.NLM you are using is the latest version or the one supplied on your workgroup EISA PC driver disk.
  Also make sure that the server and client drivers on your system are the latest revisions.
