Cabletron Systems SFCS-1000 User Manual

To determine if the driver software on the host has detected the presence of an
ATM adapter board, issue the following command once the host system has
come up completely:

If the driver has located the ATM board, the screen output shows fa0 in
response to the netstat command. If there is more than one adapter card, the
next board will be named fa1, and so on. If you have configured a Classical IP
interface, this will also be shown. The option -i shows the state of interfaces
that were auto-configured, as happens when the Cabletron software is loaded
and run upon system boot. Interfaces statically configured in a system, but
not located at boot time, are not shown.

If the driver does not see the ATM board, no response will be given. Reseat
the board by performing the following steps to ensure that failure was not
due to improper insertion of the board:

1.

Halt the system, being sure to follow the procedures outlined in
Chapter 2 of the User’s Manual for the adapter.

2.

Open the computer as shown in Chapter 2 of the User’s Manual
for the adapter, and reseat the board.

3.

Reboot the system.

If the board still fails after a reseat, then it should be returned for repair. Call
Cabletron Systems’ Technical Support for further assistance.
