Table 3 − Common Ethernet Errors
If a defined router is offline when another router boots up, error 10
displays on the statistics screen. This error just means that a router
at one of the defined IP addresses did not respond as expected. The
router software flags this router as offline and will not send any
messages to it until it comes back online.
The other three Ethernet debugging tools are executed from the DOS
prompt once the router program has been stopped. After stopping
the router by hitting the “Q” on the keyboard, switch the null-
modem cable to COM2 to exercise DOS control.
Note: Once “Q” is hit, the router software stops transmitting
Metasys messages, and its subnet loses communications
with the rest of the Metasys Network. To restart the router
from the DOS prompt, type REBOOT.
XPING Command
The XPING command verifies that messages can be sent and
received over the Ethernet network by transmitting continuous
pings. The command format is:
xping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx interval
