Verification with the Local Craft Tool

The LCT can be used without a connection to PEM or to any backbone
network as described in section section Error! Reference source not
found. on page Error! Bookmark not defined..
The LCT activates the IP DSLAMs (as well as providing an IP address to
other nodes) and configures each IP DSLAM to start all the lines, and by
using a CPE modem on each line, it is possible to verify that the ADSL
connection is up and running. The registration process cannot be verified
by using this method. Using the LCT is more time consuming than method
1, but not as time consuming as method 3.

Perform continuity check on each line from
the Exchange MDF to the Line MDF
Verify that the green LED is lit on the IP
DSLAMs
Verify (if possible) that the ECN320 switch
port where the IP DSLAMs are connected,
indicates active Ethernet connection
Recommended to perform check on each
ADSL line
Recommended to perform continuity check
on each POTS or ISDN line
The ECN320 Local Craft Tool
When the EDN312 IP DSLAM is embedded in an EAN as for example the
EDN288 and connected to the ECN320 Ethernet Controller Node the line
verification is done by means of the ECN320 Local Craft Tool. The ECN320
Local Craft Tool is an application used for checking the function of each IP
DSLAM embedded in an EAN. When the ECN320 LCT has been
connected to the ECN320 the line verfication is done by activating a line
configuration script placed on the LCT, so the user starts a Windows
Command Prompt, navigates to a folder with the script and activates the
script. The following steps are taken:
1. Copy the 24 standard ("empty") configuration files from the ECN320
