The final step of the NetPath 100 installation is to verify operations. This is done
through the Network Control Center (NCC).
1. Contact the Network Control Center and inform the Operator that the physical
installation and initial configuration are completed.
2. The NCC will establish a management session to the NetPath 100 and complete
any final/additional configuration, and review the system's status screens to verify
operation.
NOTE: To enable NCC management access, the local console session must be logged
out, and if the NCC is attempting a dial-in connection, the local terminal must also be
disconnected from the AUX 2 port.
If this installation is configured for Out-Of-Band Trap Reporting, a test of this feature
should also be performed. This is done by initiating a Network communications failure
which causes the NetPath 100 to issue a Trap Report to the Trap Manager. This test
must be coordinated with the NCC Operator to verify that the Trap Report is received
and that Network communications are restored after the test.
3. Coordinate the initiation of this test with the NCC Operator, and when told to do
so, disconnect the T1 Line from the NetPath 100. The NetPath 100 will dial-out to
issue a Trap Report after approximately five (5) seconds. This can be seen on the
front panel by the "MODEM IN USE" LED going steady ON. After the
"MODEM IN USE" LED goes OFF, reconnect the T1 Line and confirm with the
NCC Operator that the Trap Report has been received, and that good
communications have been reestablished with the NetPath 100.
NOTE: If the NCC management session (Step # 2) was established via dial-in, this
must be terminated before the NetPath 100 can use the Modem to issue the Trap Re-
port.
This dial-out Trap Report test is highly recommended because it adds a greater level
of confidence to the completion of the installation process. This test verifies all of the
following, in addition to the normal operation of the NetPath 100:
•
Dial Line is operational and a call can be made (not inadvertently blocked).
•
Trap Manager phone number is correct.
•
IP Address is correct.
•
Trap Manager Address and Community are correct.
The installation and initial testing are now complete. If any results were other than
those described, refer to section 5 Diagnostics of this manual for assistance.
