Starting the Probe
NOTE
If you are using the Bootp server method of configuration, do not attach the power
cord and Agilent Power Module (0950-2546) to the probe until told to do so in
Chapter 4 “Bootp Server Configuration”.
If you used the local terminal method of configuration, attach the power cord and
Agilent Power Module to LanProbe. The probe does not have a power switch, but
is powered on when power is attached. When powered on or reset, LanProbe runs
self-tests and transmits ICMP echo frames to the default gateway for the purpose
of allowing the probe to be discovered by the routers (ARP cache). The probe
transmits four ICMP echo request packets about 10 seconds after booting and
again every autodiscovery echo interval. Refer to Chapter 5 “LanProbe
Operation” for more information on resetting the probe.
