| Double check the Power Brick you are using if this is standalone unit
The H7857-AA causes Console problems....

| 3438.3 | Try a VT screen with H8575-A | GIDDAY::MORETTI | Death is just a formality | Thu Apr 11 1996 23:34 | 12 |

try using a VT screen with the following cable/adapters :
H8571-J ===== DECconnect cable =======H8575-A
your power supply is correct.
I tested the above combination and it works fine to a VT220 screen.

| 3438.4 | Is the # light really the Network OK indicator?? | KYOSS1::JLEONARD | Paid to play... | Fri Apr 12 1996 09:22 | 11 |
| A VT terminal is not readily convenient at this moment, all I have easy
access to are PC's and their serial ports. Works to talk to most other
equipment... Before I request replacement of this unit I will take it
into the office and try connecting to a VT.
Can anyone tell me whether the absence of the # light with a properly
terminated thinwire connection indicates a problem? I started with
this device on a live network - same indication, # light out. The
documentation states that the # light is the Network OK indicator.
When on the network port is properly terminated, when out it is not.
Is this the true meaning of this light?

| 3438.5 | no # light indicates problem | GIDDAY::MORETTI | Death is just a formality | Sun Apr 14 1996 20:40 | 27 |

I have tried :
H8571-J ===== DECconnect cable ========H8571-J
and this works fine on my laptop 425.
The lights are as follows in a hub90 :
top (power) = on
2nd (network activity) = depends on traffic
3rd (network OK) = on whether terminated or not
I put a terminator in the 10baseT port and also the 10base% port and
this made no difference to the status of the lights on my WORKING
packetprobe.
You should be able to connect the above cable/adapter combination and
turn the probe on and see the bootup sequence.
This has always been the case with my probe which has been upgraded
from V1.0 to V2.6 and still responds the same way.
cheers

| 3438.6 | This Probe was DOA... | TOPTEN::LEONARD | Paid to play | Wed May 01 1996 09:56 | 3 |
| This Packetprobe was DOA... I replaced it and can now connect to the
console of the new device from the serial port on my PC with (2)H8571-J
and BC16E. Thanks for the assistance.
