TESTING ETN21 NODE DIALS ARE CORRECTLY SET

2 posts in this topic

I recently had an issue where a system shipped to a customer's site with a mismatch between the IP address loaded into the CJ1W-ETN21 card and the node dials on the card itself.  We had been testing the settings of the card by pinging the address and had assumed if the node dials were wrong we would not be able to ping the card.  As we just found out that is not the case!

Both our quality department and our customer's end user were able to ping the Ethernet card, but the end user could not establish FINS communications because the node dials were not correctly set.

Is there a way to test that the dials are correctly set? 

 

Thank you!!!

Look at the front of the module.  If the dials are not set to match the last octet, you will have a flashing ERH light as shown below:

if you can ping it and you have a flashing ERH, then the FINS Node number does not match the last octet of the IP Address.
