2.2.4 PING Setup/Test

Link turn-up verifies connectivity to a DSLAM. PING testing takes
the turn-up procedure one step further and verifies connectivity
to the far end network. PING is a common method to discover
whether two remote LAN segments using TCP-IP protocol are
connected. When receiving a PING message, Internet devices
acknowledge it by sending an echo message back.
After turning up the link, enter PING SETUP/TEST from the mod-
ule main menu. The first screen contains configuration items for
the PING test. Enter the proper protocol used by the circuit, as
well as the necessary IP addresses. The first setting is MODE.
Notes:
• Before performing a PING test, confirm that the link is estab-
lished.
• To enter numbers, press SHIFT and use the numeric keypad.
If available, use <-,-> to move the cursor.
MODE
Options: PROFILE (F1), LLC-BRG (F2), LLC-RTE (more, F1),
CLIPoA (more, F2), PPPoE (more, F1), PPPoA (F2, more)
Select the protocol mode for the PING test.
• PROFILE: Use to store and retrieve PING configurations, see
Section 2.2.4.4.
• LLC-BRG: LLC-Bridge protocol. This follows RFC 1483 bridge
encapsulation. It supports both static and dynamic IP man-
agement.
• LLC-RTE: LLC-Routed protocol. It supports only static IP
addressing.
• CLIPoA: This refers to Classical IP over ATM according to
RFC 2225. Used only in STATIC mode.
• PPPoE: PPP over Ethernet, according to standard RFC 2516
PPP over Ethernet. PPPoE supports dynamic IP addressing.
• PPPoA: PPP over ATM, according to standard RFC 2364, PPP
over AAL5. PPPoA supports dynamic IP addressing.
The actual configuration settings depend on the selected mode,
hence the following subsections describe setup and PING results
for each mode.
