Verifying Connections and Setup
Check the modem, DSX, Ethernet, DTE, and PVC connections, as well as the ISDN
DBM setup if a DBM is installed.
Checking the Modem Connection
Procedure
If Port Use is set to Terminal (dial-in access):
1. Dial the modem’s phone number using a remote asynchronous terminal or PC.
2. Verify that the Main Menu appears.
If Port Use is set to Net Link (SNMP, Telnet, FTP, and trap dial-out):
1. Dial the modem’s phone number using a PC running PPP or SLIP link protocol.
2. From the PC, run an IP Ping test to the modem interface.
If your results using either method are unsuccessful, make sure both ends of the modem
cable are properly seated and secured. Then, verify that the modem was configured
correctly (see
Setting Up the Modem
on page 14). Otherwise, refer to the status
information in
Operation and Maintenance
of the User’s Guide.
Checking the DSX Connection
Procedure
1. Verify that the DSX signal (SIG) LED is green, and that the DSX out-of-frame (OOF)
and alarm (ALM) LEDs are off. If so, the DSX interface is set up correctly and is
operational. If not, make sure both ends of the DSX cable are properly seated.
When ALM is on, contact the service provider.
2. Check Health and Status messages in the left column of the System and Test
Status screen.
