LAT ports to modem has gone inactive

By just rebooting (or a power cycle) the server will not loose its settings.

If you apply power while pressing the reset switch the server will reset to factory settings.

fredrik,

can your network guys confirm that the port for the decserver is at 10 half duplex

fredrik,

just a thought , has the silver switch on the network connection been accidentally moved from/to rj45/aui ?

Hi Mark,

I'll check with them today if they can confirm that.

I've checked the silver switch and it's on left side (looking from behind) which has a marking leading to the rj45 outlet.

Best regards

fredrik,

i take it that you have the network cable in the rj45 not the aui side and the green connection light is on :-)

[Fredrik.eriksson]

That is correct ;) I should have mentioned that in my previous post :P.

I've been looking around abit and I have found which VMS (alpha 7.3-2) that should supply my decservers with the image. The operator.log isn't containing any log entrys that says anything about load requests from the machine.

I'm starting to agree that this seems like a network connection error of some sort.
Going to see if I can sort out a serial cable so I can see what the terminal has to say about this.

Best regards

Thank you all for the great help :)

The machine came online again around 9 this morning, apperantly the switch had lost it's configuration and the port wasn't configured for 10mbit half duplex.

So special thanks to Mark for figuring it out :) You'll get a 10 pointer for that one :P

Now on to my next mission to find the lost passwords ;P
