The screen below is used to check the state of the communication cable
and whether a communication destination exists.
Enter the IP address of a communication destination through MDI
keys, then press the [PING] soft key. Communication is performed
three times with the specified communication destination, and the
results are displayed.
Messages displayed:
Reply from IP-address
This message indicates that a response was received from the
specified communication destination and that the specified
communication destination exists on the network.
Request Timed out IP-address
This message indicates that no response was received from the
specified communication destination and that the specified
communication destination does not exist on the network.
Check if the power to the communication destination
equipment is turned on. Check also the parameter settings and
network installation for errors.
IP address Error (IP-address)
The specified IP address is incorrect. Check the entered IP
address.

The screen below is used to check the communication state of the
embedded Ethernet function and the error detection count of the
Ethernet controller.
The screen consists of two pages: one page for an error detection count
for transmission, and the other for an error detection count for
reception.
By pressing the [CLEAR] soft key, the error detection counters for
transmission and reception can be cleared to 0.
By pressing the [RESET] soft key, the current communication device
can be initialized and communication can be performed from the
initial state. Use this key to reset communication based on the
embedded Ethernet function.

the FTP file transfer function to the CNC.
This counter is initialized to 0 at power-on, then is incremented
each time a certain condition is satisfied.
TOTAL SIZE
Indicates the total number of bytes transferred when one NC pro-
gram is transferred using the FTP file transfer function.
READ POINTER
Indicates internal buffer management information when the FTP file

This section describes troubleshooting and check items associated with
8.8
the embedded Ethernet function.
TROUBLESHOOTING
8.8.1
1) Is an STP cable used for connection between the hub and embedded
Ethernet?
Check Items Related to
2) Is the STP cable connected correctly?
Connection with the
In general, a straight cable is used for connection between the hub and
Hub
communication device.
3) Is the power to the hub turned on?
4) The PCMCIA Ethernet card is used only with 10BASE-T. Is a hub
for 10BASE-T used when the PCMCIA Ethernet card is used?
5) Is the link LED turned on when the embedded Ethernet port is used?
The link LED is not turned on when the hub is not connected or the
power to the hub is not turned on.
6) Is the LED (for link display) of the connected hub turned on?
(Some hubs are not provided with a link LED.)
The LED is not turned on when the hub is not connected with the
embedded Ethernet or the power to the CNC is not turned on.
8.8.2
This subsection can be ignored when a network is built only with a hub
to which the embedded Ethernet is connected.
Check Items Related to
The general check items are listed below. For network installation,
Connection with a
consult with vendors specialized in this area. Install cables away from
Backbone
noise sources.
When a 10BASE-5 backbone is used
1) Are transceivers connected to the backbone cable correctly?
S If the transceivers are connected correctly, the resistance between
the backbone shield and central conductor is about 25 ohms (when
terminating resistors are attached).
S A special tool may be required for transceiver installation.
(The
special tool varies from one vendor to another. For details, refer to
the relevant manual of each vendor.)
S At a location where a transceiver was once installed, do not install
a transceiver again. (The backbone cable can be damaged.)
2) Are transceivers installed at correct intervals?
S Transceivers need to be spaced from each other by 2.5 m or more.
It is recommended that transceivers be installed at intervals of an
integral multiple of 2.5 m. Usually, installation locations are
marked on a backbone cable.
3) Are terminating resistors attached?
S A terminating resistor (50 ohms) needs to be attached to each end
of the backbone cable.

8. EMBEDDED ETHERNET FUNCTION
4) Is the length of the backbone cable 500 m or less?
5) Does the cable (transceiver cable) connecting a hub to a transceiver
satisfy the specified length?
S Usually, the maximum allowable length of a transceiver cable is 50
m. However, the maximum allowable length of some thin cables
may be less than 50 m. Check the specification of the cable.
When a 10BASE-2 backbone is used
1) Is the length of one cable 0.5 m or more?
S The minimum allowable span between nodes (devices) is 0.5 m.
2) Is the length of the backbone cable (total length of the cables) 185 m
or less?
3) Are terminating resistors attached?
S A terminating resistor (50 ohms) needs to be attached to each end
of the backbone cable.
8.8.3
This subsection describes how to check the minimum settings required
for communication.
Checking the Setting of
Each Parameter
Checking the settings on the embedded Ethernet side
1) Is the MAC address of the embedded Ethernet displayed?
S The MAC address of a embedded Ethernet port is set for each CNC,
and can be checked on the parameter setting screen.
S A unique MAC address is assigned to each PCMCIA Ethernet card.
When a PCMCIA Ethernet card is selected and inserted, MAC
address display is provided.
2) Is a correct IP address set?
S Check if an IP address already specified for another device is set.
3) Is a correct subnet mask set?
S The subnet mask setting must match the subnet mask setting on the
communication destination device.
4) Is a correct router IP address set when communication via a router is
performed?
Checking the settings on the personal computer side
1) Is a correct IP address set?
S Check if an IP address already specified for another device is set.
2) Is a correct subnet mask set?
S The subnet mask setting must match the subnet mask setting on the
communication destination device.
3) Is a correct router IP address set when communication via a router is
performed?
