Installation

Is It Working? 

2 - 7

When the unit is running normally, the OK LED blinks green once every 

two seconds. If data is being transmitted on the Ethernet port, the OK 

LED blinks yellow. The Serial LED blinks red when characters are 

transmitted through the serial port, green when characters are received, 

and yellow when characters are both transmitted and received. 

2.3 Is It Working?

If the MSS appears to be working and the unit is connected to the 

network, there are four ways to confirm that it is working correctly:

•

If there is a terminal attached, press the Return key and log in. 

If you are able to log in, the server is running normally.

•

If an IP address has been configured for the MSS (see 

IP 

Address Configuration

 on page 3-1), ping the MSS from a TCP/

IP host.

•

Perform a test using the Test command. See the 

Commands

chapter in the 

MSS Reference Manual

 on CD-ROM for more 

information.

When you are satisfied that the MSS is working properly, proceed to
