An IP Ping test can be run to test connectivity between the DSU/CSU and any
NMS to which it has a route.

Procedure
To ping the NMS at the central site:
6-18
To verify the entire path between a newly installed remote site DSU/CSU and
the central site NMS. During a remote site installation, an IP Ping test is
typically run from the remote site to ping the NMS at the central site. The
remote DSU/CSU must have SNMP trap managers configured, and one of
those trap managers must be the central site NMS.
To test the path to the NMS trap managers during installation of the central site
DSU/CSU. The remote DSU/CSU must have configured the SNMP trap
managers to be sent the ping.
1. Verify that the central site NMS has the DSU/CSU's IP address in its routing
table so it can communicate with the DSU/CSU.
2. Verify that the central site NMS's router has the DSU/CSU's IP address in its
routing table so it can communicate with the DSU/CSU.
3. Verify that the central site NMS has been configured as an SNMP Trap
Manager if the router is to route data, so a route has been configured within
the DSU/CSU.

the Status ( nn being the amount of time the test took in milliseconds).
If any other message is displayed, additional testing will be required.
