SEL-2701 Status
SEL-2701 Status
You can obtain status information about the SEL-2701 from either the
SEL-2701 or the host. Use the instructions below to determine the operational
status of your SEL-2701. This information will be helpful for troubleshooting
and for verifying proper operation.
Direct
From SEL-2701
You can obtain status information from the SEL-2701 by establishing a Telnet
session from another node on the Ethernet network. This is useful for
collecting detailed diagnostic information from the SEL-2701. Follow the
steps below to collect status information from the SEL-2701 directly.
Step 1. Establish a Telnet connection. For the connection parameters
enter the IP set in the SEL-2701 setting IPADDR (the default is
192.92.92.92) and the port number set in T2PNUM. See
Section 3: Settings and Commands for more information about
SEL-2701 settings. If you are connected to the SEL-2701, you
will see a “#” character in the prompt after you press ENTER.
Step 2. Log in to Access Level 1. Enter the SEL-2701 ACC command
and enter the password if prompted. The SEL-2701 uses the
Access Level 1 password for the host. When you are at Access
Level 1, the prompt will become “#>.”
Step 3. Display status information. Enter the SEL-2701 STA
command. The response to the status command shows the
hardware status of the SEL-2701, network port operation
status, and network statistics. Record or print the status
information for later reference.
From Host
You can use the host to collect some basic information about the SEL-2701.
This is useful for determining if the host has properly recognized the card and
for collecting error messages and codes from the SEL-2701. See Error
Messages and Codes on page 6.6
for a detailed explanation of the codes and
messages that may be displayed.
Step 1. Connect your PC serial port to the host front port. Use a
cable number C234A or equivalent.
Step 2. Start terminal software and connect to the SEL host. You
are connected to the host when you see a prompt after you press
ENTER.
Step 3. Log in to Access Level 1. Enter the SEL host ACC command
and enter the password if prompted. When you are at Access
Level 1, the prompt will contain a single “>” character (“*>” or
“=>”).
Step 4. Display status information using the host status command.
The response to the status command shows the hardware status
and diagnostic information for the host. The error code and any
messages from the SEL-2701 are also reported. If your
SEL-2701 and host are operating normally, the status reported
will be “0h” for the error code and “NORMAL” for the error
message. If no status for the SEL-2701 is displayed, the host
has failed to recognize and properly initialize the card. In an
SEL-2030 the status is reported by port, with ports 17 and 18
displaying the communication card slot status. In an SEL-400
series relay, the status will be reported under “Communi-
cations Card” heading that only appears if the relay has
recognized an installed card.
