Connecting to the network
Use this procedure to complete and test network connections.
Procedure:
1
If a management PC is connected directly to the PTP 650, disconnect it.
2
Confirm that all ODU Ethernet interface cables (PSU, SFP and Aux) are connected to the
correct network terminating equipment or devices.
If Main PSU Port Allocation is set to Disabled in the LAN Configuration page), it is not
necessary to connect the PSU LAN port to network terminating equipment.
3
Test that the unit is reachable from the network management system by opening the web
interface to the management agent, or by requesting ICMP echo response packets using the
Ping application. For in-band management, test that both units are reachable from one PC.
If the network management system is remote from the sites, either ask co-workers at the
management center to perform this test, or use remote login to the management system.
4
Test the data network for correct operation across the wireless link. This may be by
requesting ICMP echo response packets between hosts in the connected network segments,
or by some more structured use of network testing tools.
5
Monitor the Ethernet ports and wireless link to confirm that they are running normally. For
instructions, see
