Vclass server not communicating with B180 Test Station?
1. I checked all connections, all is to spec
2. All trancievers are green
3. i can ping mu-0000 from the B class (mu0000 being the V class
4. the NIC is found and claimed.
i am at a loss on what could be going on. Does anyone have any commands or tricks that i could try to figure out why the B doesn't see the V anymore?

Re: Vclass server not communicating with B180 Test Station?
on both boxes
See if the ip address is the same. See if the netmask on the ip address is the same. The netmask being different would put the machines on different networks, making communication impossible.
Also, check:
lanadmin -x 0
replace zero with the actual lan number of the interface from lanscan
Everything should probably be 100 BaseT Full Duplex manual.
Check switches and firewalls for hardcoded settings that are not correct or compatible. I usually have to talk to my network department.
Check and if possible replace cabling in case someone has sucked you lan cable into a vacuum cleaner.
Please report back. I love mysteries and am still on the DL list with the flu.

Re: Vclass server not communicating with B180 Test Station?
on the B180, i have ONE nic in netconf. It does have a different subnet mask then my NIC on the vclass. However, the NIC on the v class is my network NIC and should be a class B network. The network communication between the v and the B is on a private lan but i don't see any NIC for it on the V.
the lanadmin -x 0 doesn't work on the B class, it just takes me back to the prompt. (it is using lan0 as well)
am i missing something here? Not all that good with networking between these 2 devices.

Re: Vclass server not communicating with B180 Test Station?
Same thing happened to me. There is a network connection between the B180 and V-class machine that is INDEPENDENT of the normal network connections. I bet THAT one is down. NOT the normal network.
There are 3 things that come out of that B180.
1. A serial cable that lets you have a console connection.
2. A network cable that lets you see the test station from other places (like a different box, or your pc).
3. A SECOND, network cable that is directly connect to a special spot on the V-class box. This connection for me is a BNC network.
I bet this third connection is the faulty one for you.
In my case, the AUI to BNC coverter on the back of my B180 was busted.

Re: Vclass server not communicating with B180 Test Station?
I examined my test station.
I see I have
"/spp/etc/console -M localhost hw2a-0000" as a process.
I opened a new window and tried that. It started up that window that checks for the node being present. It didn't start the console. Of course, I still have MY console.
The TITLE of the window is sppconsole.
I would search on sppconsole.

Re: Vclass server not communicating with B180 Test Station?
From the station, click the mouse on an open part of the desktop.
You should get a menu.
One of the options should be V-Class Complex.
Under that, you have "console..." and "shells..."
Try console node/0 complex.
No good? Try shells: sppdsh, or ksh.
My "V-Class complex is listed as "V-class complex:hw2a". I tried console, then node/0. It just gave me the message window again (the one with the node is ok messages).
But I didn't get rid of my console window ahead of time.
If console-node0 doesn't work,
try that sppdsh or ksh.
Still no good?
Perhaps a simple reboot of that test station will set it up correctly.
Or perhaps you could look in /sbin/init.d to see what is run last during startup of the test station.
hope this helps....
