Term during the setup navigation. Once the adapter is setup
and running, you can change the terminal’s and host’s
emulation back to PC-Term.

Startup Sequence

When the terminal is turned on, it performs an initial adapter
diagnostic test and displays a message indicating the result of
that test.

Ethernet pass indicates that the test was successful and the
card is functioning properly.

Ethernet check xxh means that the diagnostic test has failed
(see table labeled Diagnostic Results below).

The Ethernet check may also be followed by the message
FATAL ERROR. MAC address failure, contact technical support. This
message indicates that the card’s MAC address has been
corrupted beyond software recovery. Record all error
information and contact your Technical Support
Department for assistance (see the inside of the back cover
for details).

The adapter will continue to operate after these error
messages, however there is no guarantee that the unit will be
able to connect to a host.
If the EEPROM checksum fails, all IP addresses are set to
0.0.0.0, Poweron Connect to No, and Comm Protocol to Both.
