Network check
There are a few network checks:
One check is to PING all the nodes, to get a overview off the network.
To make the checks node independent, the SMiC node will PING all the nodes, and in turn the other nodes will PING the SMiC node.
This ensures that also a failure in the SMiC node will be reported.
In an environment using DECnet it is possible to perform a DECnet speed test.
The settings for the network ports can be checked for speed and duplex setting.
The network settings data file can be edited using the normal text editor, or using the WEB interface.
