The Packetprobe 90, Brouter 90 ,and OBM port on the DEChub 900 MS all
use the H8571-J version of the DB9 connector.

| The H8571-B will NOT work (wrong pinout). You need an H8571-J !

I am now using an H8571-J at 9600bps and I am receiving readable ouptut
from the DECprobe. What I am receiving is as follows:
<00:00:00> Agent Ready
<00:00:00> Free Memory after init = 839588 Bytes
<00:00:00> Agent Serial#: 10657989
<00:00:00> IFN 1 MAC address: 08-00-2b-a2-a0-c5
<00:00:00> Free memory after boot = 927104 Bytes
<00:00:00> MIBMGR: Collector activated for Interface 1
<00:00:00> Code Executing from EPROM
<00:00:00> AGENT Version 1.0
<00:00:00> NVRAM Version 2.0
<00:00:00> Link time Aug 09 15:05:30 1993
<00:00:00> Interface [1] IP Addr: Not configured
NetMask: Not configured
GW Addr: Not Configured
The problem NOW is that I keep receiving this message over and over and
over and over and over ...
How do you stop the display so that you get to the MENU specified in
the Release Notes?
Also, I have yet to see the Network Activity LED light up. The manual
says that this unit should be operating out of FLASH NVRAM. This one
says it is operating out of EPROM.
What now?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello,
We have exactly the same problem here. Is there any solution to fix it????? We
use H8571-J, too.

| The Packetprobe has a bug which causes this to occur in some units.
Contact product managemnt for more info (Jack Forrest @LKG).

| 458.7 | Fix identified to the menu scrolling bug | NAC::FORREST | | Thu Dec 23 1993 17:00 | 15 |

First, make sure that you are using the H7827-BA power supply for
standalone use, not the -AA. The problem is voltage sensitive, and
the modules may work in some hubs.
We have a fix for the menu scrolling bug mentioned in .4 - it
will require a ROM change. If you can get your probes back to
me, I will get them upgraded and back out to you. This affects
only DECpacketprobe 90 rev A01.
Send your probes to
Digital Equipment Corporation

| 458.8 | Using H8571-J but ... | DGOSW0::GUESDON | | Mon Mar 07 1994 11:48 | 15 |
| Hello,
I'm trying to configure a packetprobe, using an H8571-J adapter, and
nothing appears on my VT screen (I've tried some different DEC423
cables)
When I plug my packetprobe in a DEChub 900MS, Hubwatch sees it and
detect the good hardware Ethernet address, but asks me to configure an
IP address.
What could be the source of my problem ?
Thanks.
Michel.

| 458.9 | Try changing terminal setup | NAC::FORREST | | Mon Mar 14 1994 17:25 | 14 |
|
Michel, I don't know what the problem is. Do you see anything on
the terminal, e.g. garbage characters?
You might try playing with the VT Setup in the following areas,
where we have had problems previously.
1. Try setting the terminal to enable modem control signals
2. Try increasing the XON/XOFF buffer size to 256, if your
terminal supports this.
Send me mail, and we can try working this offline and post the
findings here.

and it just goes on repeating like this forever.
LED status:
#1 on
#2 off
#3 off (in DH900, thinwire or UTP)
#4 off
This is the replacement unit that field service brought on site less
than a week ago and the fourth unit on site in several weeks. I left my
unit, running the latest code, and everything seems fine. I can't
figure out why so many replacement units haven't worked. This unit is
Rev A01 with SN AS41911456.
Is it possible units with the incorrect ROM are getting shipped back
into the field?
Matbe I'll log a call for the customer and request something newer than
Rev A01.
Any ideas as to what is happening?
