[comp.protocols.appletalk] FastPath Problem

BLASCO@ICNUCEVM.BITNET (A. Blasco Bonito) (05/18/88)

Folks,

could anybody help me in understanding why I don't succeed in running
a FasthPath box?

I have a KFPS-2 connected to an Interlan NT100 transceiver. I am able to
load it using FastPath Manager. When it starts I see, in the diagnostic
packets window, the following messages:
KFPS AT NODE #220, 27 buffers, Version 1.0, SUBNET IP routing ON, OPTIONS=0
and then continously
BAD ETHER TRANSMIT STATUS: 8400

If I load the KIP 1/88 gateway code I get the same error.

The Kinetics manual says:  8400 no carrier
                                Probable error: transceiver cable not connected

This is not the case. I've connected a PC to the same cable and it works fine.

Any advise?

   Over the past couple of weeks we have been having serious problems 
with out Kinetics FastPath.  The gateway is unreachable from Appletalk 
and from the Ethernet.  When we run the FastPath Manager it tells us
that the Gateway has been reset.  This is a very serious problem for us
and have not recieved any answers from Kinetics about it.

   Does any one have any sugestions or has anyone had similar problems?
This is getting to be a very serious problem and every one is upset at 
over it.  Please E-Mail relies.
