Testing Connections
Verification testing should be performed after any
installation.
After installing and configuring the circuit (including
control and tributary DSUs, the DDS network, the DBMs
and their dial connections), perform the following series
of tests from the control DSU to verify network operation
(using either the DCP or NMS).

Verifying Network Addresses
