Introduction
System and ControlXT/XTP Cards are essentially
computers that communicate with each other over a
private LAN.
The testhead controller contains a dedicated LAN card
to support the private LAN.
IP Addresses
A sample hosts file on page 2-39 indicates the IP
addresses used on the private LAN. These IP addresses
are the same from one system to the next.
NOTE
The private LAN card’s IP address (in the MS
Windows controller) is 10.3.112.10 with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
Hardware Addresses
System and ControlXT/XTP Cards are identified on the
private LAN by a fixed, unique hardware address (HA)
stored in their ROM(s).
The System Card HA is printed on its sheet-metal panel.
The last four digits of the ControlXT/XTP Card's HA
are printed (in hexidecimal) on the last line of one of its
ROM labels.
Verify Communication to the Testhead
To verify communication to the testhead (system card),
use the ping command:
1 Power-on the testhead.
2 At a DOS window prompt, enter:
ping 10.3.112.2
If the communication test fails, check that the LAN
ports in the testhead are terminated properly. Controller
Cables and Devices on page 2-49 shows locations of
the LAN terminations.
