After your SmartSwitch Remote Access Module has been configured, and before proceeding with
normal system operation, it is necessary to verify that the system is functional. This chapter
provides instructions for verifying the system hardware and system configuration.
You only need to perform the verification procedures for the options that apply to your
configuration. For example, if your configuration does not use SNMP, skip the SNMP verification
section.
To perform the verification procedures, WAN lines must be available and ready to use. LAN
attachment components must also be available and ready to use.
During some of the procedures, we ask you to enter an administration console command. To enter
these commands, you must have an active administration session. If you need instructions for
starting an administration session, refer to
Note: At least one remote device is required to proceed with many of the verification procedures.

ERIFYING ARDWARE
To verify the operation of the WAN and LAN hardware resources:
1. At the system prompt, enter the dr command to display current system messages. Determine
if the WAN adapter resource is operational by viewing the system messages. At the
administration console type:
dr <return>
2. For each WAN adapter installed, look for these WAN adapter initialization messages among
the system messages:
Bootstrap loaded on WAN card in slot <slot #>, waiting for response
Bootstrap came alive on WAN card in slot <slot #>
Downloading WAN card in slot <slot #> with operational software
Waiting for WAN card in slot <slot #> to complete initialization
WAN card in slot <slot #> signals it is operational
Note: Other messages may also be displayed with the WAN adapter initialization messages.
If you see these WAN adapter initialization messages, then the WAN adapter in the indicated
slot is operational.
If these WAN adapter initialization messages are NOT displayed for each of your WAN
adapters, refer to
Note: A Robbed Bit Signaling line will display a "Layer 1 up" message, but since an RBS
resource does not have an ISDN layer two, a "Data link up" message will not be
displayed.
