Addressing The Unit; Verifying Operation And Testing Connections - Paradyne 3615 Quick Reference Manual

Addressing the Unit

A unique address must be assigned to each control and tributary DSU in your network.
You can assign an address within the range of 1 through 255.
Do not assign the number 192 as a network address. This number is reserved as a
broadcast address.
The numbers 191 and 255 cannot be assigned to a DSU that has a DBM. However,
addresses can be assigned in any order; they do not have to be sequential.
It is recommended that only odd-numbered addresses be assigned to DSUs so that
even-numbered addresses are reserved for DBMs .
The DBM requires a separate address, which is automatically assigned by the DSU.
The address assigned a DBM is the DSU's address, plus 1 (for example, if the DSU's
address is 1, the assigned DBM address will be 2).
Tributary DSU Addressing
Tributary DSU addresses are user-definable. The control DSU accesses its tributary via
an active backup connection by specifying the tributary's address.
The 6700 or 6800 Series NMS accesses the DSU via its network address. To access a
tributary DSU, the NMS first addresses the control, then the tributary. An address issued
from the NMS takes the format of control channel/control DBM network
address/tributary network address. This is called link-level network addressing.

Verifying Operation and Testing Connections

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).
Next, test the tributary DBM for dial tone, and verify that the DSU can place and receive
calls.
