The Diagnostics screen is the only place on the user interface where the
MAC address is displayed.
The results for each test will either indicate Good or Failed . Diagnostic
tests may be run on any module within a department concentrator. If the
currently selected module has a failure and can no longer communicate
across the backplane bus, the message
“Module does not respond”
appears. Note that these diagnostics are limited since they must be
executed while the system is running, that is, not offline.
If any tests indicate a failure, contact Allied Telesyn immediately. See
Appendix C, “Where To Find Us,” for information on how to contact the
nearest location.
Connect to a
Remote Hub
When you choose Connect to a remote hub from the Main Menu, you
see the following menu:
This option initiates an outbound (Telnet) session from a TurboStack hub
to other TurboStack hubs in your network, whether or not you have loaded
IP addresses. This option is useful when you are managing remote
networks. With a modem attached to the RS-232 port of one of the hubs at
the remote site, you can dial into the network and directly manage the
remote hub attached to the modem. Using the
Connect command, you
may then also manage other Allied Telesyn intelligent devices on the
remote network.
NOTE
If you are specifying the hub by its user-assigned name, be sure to enclose
the name in single quotation marks (e.g.,
‘Sunnyvale’).
When the connection is established, you see the Omega main menu from
the remote hub. When you are done, disconnect the Telnet circuit by
choosing
Quit form the main menu.
Sunnyvale
Please specify the hub to connect to:
The hub may be identified by name (‘hub name’),
by IP address (128.2.3.4), or by Ethernet address (0000F4 123456)
