2 - 18 ONline Ethernet Bridge Module Installation and Operation Guide
Confirming Bridge Operation
You confirm operation of the Bridge Module by sending packets between
two Ethernet or two IEEE 802.3 nodes on separate subnetworks. Here are
some suggested ways of doing this depending on your application:
❑ If your application uses MS-DOS networking software such as Digital
Equip ment's DECnet™-D OS or PCSA, No vell's NetWare, or 3Com's 3 +,
simply issue a DOS command when logged into your server directory.
❑ If your application accesses UNIX host computers using the TCP/IP
protocol, attempt to establish a terminal connection using the Telnet
protocol, or to transfer a file using the FTP protocol.
❑ If your application accesses DEC VAX™ hosts using LAT, attempt to
establish a terminal connection.
❑ Issue the PING diagnostic command to verify whether the Bridge
Module is active.
Follow the steps listed above to send packets across the Bridge Module and
watch the front panel indicators to verify the packets are being transmitted
and received.
