Router 192.168.110.237 is responding
Router 192.168.205.125 is not responding
Router 192.168.205.234 is responding
Router 192.168.205.235 is not responding
Router 192.168.205.236 is responding
If a router is not responding, either the Ethernet or the router has
failed. Test the Ethernet link, then check connections to the router.
Finally, inspect each configuration item in the configuration files.
Configuration File Download (DOWNLOAD.EXE)
The program downloads the router configuration file
(ROUTER.CFG) from one router to all of the other Metasys Ethernet
Routers. When the DOWNLOAD program is run, it will prompt for
additional information. It will also indicate which routers were
downloaded successfully. If a download fails, either rerun the
DOWNLOAD program or update the ROUTER.CFG file at the
failed routers by hand.
The DOWNLOAD program must be run from a router that was
previously configured. Existing routers will not accept a download
from any device whose address is not in the configuration file.
Router Configuration File (ROUTER.CFG)
The ROUTER.CFG file is used to configure the Metasys Ethernet
Router. It lists the ARCNET subnets that are defined for the system,
and it specifies the IP address for the router attached to each subnet.
A sample ROUTER.CFG file is shown below:
/A
