CHAPTER 9: Troubleshooting

If configuration records for your EmulationEngine are lost and you

do not remember its user name or password, it may not be

possible to log in to the device. If this should happen, a special

name and password to their factory defaults.

 Open a telnet connection to the device

 At the login prompt, type RESET in response to the EE login

prompt and FACTORY in response to the Password prompt. These

are both case sensitive. Example:

EE login: RESET

Password: *******

In response to this sequence, the EmulationEngine will reset both

the login username and the login password to their factory

defaults (User Name: Admin, Password: EE). A new configuration

file with the reset login and password will be written to the Flash

file system, and the EmulationEngine will issue a new login

prompt. No other configuration parameters are affected by this

operation.

You may now log in using the factory default login name (Admin)

and password (EE). Following successful login, you may use the

"set login" or "set password" CLI commands to set these

parameters as desired. Be sure to record the new settings for

future reference.

Using a Third-Party Load Generator

Symptom: Telnet or the Web Client becomes unresponsive during

a test or cannot connect at the conclusion of a test.

Possible Problems:

 If your Load Generator exceeds the maximum 802.3 rate specified

in the EmulationEngine Specifications during a test: 1) Telnet

and/or the Web Client may not be able to establish a new

connection. 2) If connected, Telnet and/or the Web Client may lose

connectivity to the EmulationEngine.

 If Telnet or the Web Client become unresponsive during a test or

cannot connect at the conclusion of a test, make sure your Load

Generator is not responding to ARP requests that are targeted to

the EmulationEngine address. If this occurs, the ARP request

transmitted from the PC Client (running telnet) or the Web Client

for the purpose of obtaining the MAC address of an IP address,

will respond with the Load Generator's MAC address instead of the

EmulationEngine's MAC address. All data sourced from the PC
