11.3 TESTING THE LAN CARD
After the Octel Overture 200/300 has been restarted to bring up the LAN card, test whether the LAN card
is functional and is communicating with other message servers. Use the following commands:
- CMD PING
- LANSTAT
CMD PING
The CMD PING command does the lowest-level “echo” test from the LAN card at this end to the
destination message server. It verifies that all the basic requirements are met, such as the following:
- Both LAN cards are present, up and running, and talking to the CPU.
- LAN end-to-end data transfer is possible across the digital network.
- The LAN card IP addresses are correctly configured.
To use the CMD PING command, at the @ prompt, enter
CMD x PING y Enter
where x is the slot number in which the LAN card is installed and y is the IP address of the device to
which the test ethernet packet is sent.
The CMD PING command sends a low-level ethernet packet to the address specified. The receiver
replies with a ping-response packet.
An example of a ping success is as follows:
