Test and Turn Up Procedure for Cisco 6100
For additional testing of the installation and provisioning of the Cisco 6100 system, you can use the test and turn up procedure found in this appendix. This information is meant to supplement that found in the Cisco 6100 Set Up and Installation Manual.
The following is the equipment you will need to run this test and turn up procedure:
- Windows NT4.0 or 95 laptop PC with Ethernet capability
- ViewRunner for Windows
- Serial cable, straight through DB-9 female to male. ~6ft
- Ethernet cable (no hub/crossover). ~6ft
- 80 line test configuration file for ViewRunner
- Terminal emulator (as ProComm Plus or HyperTerminal)
- System controller (SC) to SC single mode fiber jumper or DS3 jumper depending on system
- Cisco 675
- CPE POTS splitter
- Two RJ-11 jumper cables
- One RJ-11 cable terminated with alligator clips or wire wrap post clips (octopus cable)
- Telephone set
- 4 ft. rack (for non-framed test environments)
The following subsections detail the steps of turning up and testing the 6100 system:
- Inspect the equipment
- Power the 6100 and 6110 chassis
- Unpack and inspect the modules
- Insert the modules
- Configure the 6100 management port
- Attach the ViewRunner to the 6100
- Provision the 6100 for the test
- Test system connectivity
- Load the default provisioning data
When all three of the chassis have been unpacked, visually inspect them from several angles to make sure they meet the following criteria.
From front of bay:
- Verify empty slots 10 and 11 of the multiplexer chassis (MC) and slots 11 and 12 of the line concentration chassis (LCC) have no bent pins.
From rear of bay: (after following the installation procedures in the Cisco 6100 Set Up and Installation Manual)
- Verify all cables are securely fastened. Amphenol connectors should be screwed down and tie wrapped. SCSI type connectors for SMB and ASB should be securely fastened.
- Verify 10BaseT connection is present on the System I/O module.
- A logic ground jumper should be present between the 6100 MC and all 6110 LCCs.
- -48V and -48V-RTN (both A and B) should be wired to the fuse panel.
- Verify frame ground lugs are connected to frame ground.
- If alarm relays are to be used, verify the connection from the alarm posts to the alarm panel.
- Verify that the LCC ID dip switch is correctly set. If only one LCC is present in the system, then the switches should read OFF, OFF, OFF, ON, ON, ON.
- Insert fuses (10A for MC and 1A for each LCC) into the fuse panel for both A and B power.
- Check voltage at MC and LCC (-48V to -52V).
- All modules - Check for obvious damage during shipping.
- ATU-C - Verify jumpers are in the correct position for Digital Off-Hook (DOH).
- System I/O Card - Verify FPGA daughter card is fully seated.
Note It is important that all modules are fully seated. An extra push (top and bottom) on the faceplate of each module is required to fully seat the card. It is also important that the order in which modules are inserted is strictly followed.
- Insert the SC in MC Slot 12. This will cause a full system reset.
- Insert an ATU-C in MC Slot 1. After the brief self test, verify the STATUS LED is solid GREEN.
- Insert the 3 remaining ATU-Cs in MC Slot 2, MC Slot 21, and MC Slot 22.
- Insert the NIU in MC Slot 10.
- Insert the line interface module (LIM) in LCC Slot 11. After the brief self test, verify that the STATUS and ACTIVE LEDs are solid GREEN.
- Insert LIMs in LCC Slot 1 and LCC Slot 13
- Insert POTS splitter modules (PSMs) in the 6120 PSC Slot 1 and PSC Slot 13.
- After one minute, the STATUS and ACTIVE LED on all modules should be solid GREEN (where applicable). The SC will have an alarm indication (ALARM LED solid RED) if the OC3 or DS3 facility is not connected.
- From the Windows PC, load a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal, or Procomm Plus). The program should be configured for 38400 baud, 8 data bits, No stop bits, and 1 parity bit.
- Attach the 9-pin serial cable to the PC and the SC front panel DB-9 connector.
- Press Enter to bring up the runtime menu.
- Choose the menu option to erase NVRAM. This will automatically reset the entire system.
- Wait for all LEDs on the SC to go off, and immediately press Enter on the PC. This should bring up the SC IP configuration menu.
- Using the menu options, configure the IP address, Subnet Mask, IP Gateway, and BOOTP Server (if applicable)
- Save the configuration to EEPROM.
- Exit the menu. When prompted to reset the system, enter Y and Return.
- Verify the PC that will be used during the test and turn up procedure has the IP address that is on the same subnet as the 6100 IP address configured in the previous step.
- Unplug the 10BaseT connection from the 6100 System I/O module and connect the PC to the System I/O module. This cable should be a crossover type (no hub). IP connectivity to the 6100 can be verified at this point by pinging the 6100 from the PC.
- Load ViewRunner for Windows.
- Choose Options >> LoopRunner Addresses from the pull down menu. Type in the SC IP address as configured in step 5, and an optional name for this system.
- Choose Add then OK.
- From the drop down list at the top of the screen, select the desired IP address from the list of IP addresses, and press the discover button (with the circular arrows).
- Verify that all installed modules are properly discovered. The SC and LCC module tabs should be GREEN. All other modules should be BROWN.
- Right click on the MC top border and select LoopRunner Properties >> Configuration.
- Set the proper date and time and select OK.
- Select File >> Restore Configuration.
- Follow the Bulk Provisioning wizard precisely to load the 80 subscriber test configuration file (provided by Cisco-Austin).
- After completing the wizard, verify all installed modules have GREEN tabs, and all other module slots have BLUE tabs (BLUE indicates a provisioned but non-installed module).
- Loopback the 6100 NI module either locally with a loopback cable, or at the ATM switch.
- Zing the 8 lines corresponding to the current LIM locations. Verify that all ATU-C ports successfully train with one of the LIM ports. The ATU-C ports will cycle in a round robin pattern (i.e. port 1 will train to the first DOH signal, port 2 will train to the next DOH and so on.).
- This test requires a Cisco 675, a CPE POTS Splitter, an RJ-11 patch cord with test clips on one end, a telephone, and 2 RJ-11 patch cords. The MDF should have two wire wrap blocks installed. One is for connection to the voice switch (labeled POTS), and the other is for connections to the subscriber loop (labeled ADSL). These blocks are already connected to the 6100 through 25 pair cable.
Using the RJ-11 patch cables, connect the 675 to the DATA port of the CPE POTS splitter, and the phone to the POTS port of the splitter. Connect the test RJ-11 cord (with the test clips) to the LINE port of the splitter and to the tip and ring pair to be tested on the ADSL block. Connect a test line from the voice switch (dialtone) to the corresponding terminal of the POTS block.
Power on the 675. Verify that the associated LIM port detects Digital Off- Hook (DOH) by lighting that port's LED solid GREEN. Verify the 675 trains to an ATU-C in the 6100 MC by verifying the WAN ACT LED is solid AMBER and the WAN LNK LED solid GREEN. Due to the round robin algorithm for assigning ATU-C ports to subscriber lines, it will not be possible to predict which ATU-C will be switched to the line under test.
- Verify the telephone receives dialtone and outgoing calls can be established. Verify incoming calls ring the phone.
- Using ViewRunner, lock the currently installed LIMs and ATU-Cs (the ones with GREEN tabs) then delete them. Physically move the 2 LIMs and 4 ATU-Cs one slot to the right in their respective chassis.
- Iterate the previous two steps until all LIM ports have been tested.
Note The first 64 lines will test every ATU-C port in every slot. For the final 16 lines, leave the ATU-Cs in their last position and do not delete.
- Lock and delete the ATU-Cs, LIMs, and PSMs.
- Return all cards to their original slots as described in the "Insert the Modules"section.
- Using the procedure in the "Configure the 6100 Management Port"section, erase the SC NVRAM (from the runtime menu).
- Upload the 64 (or 80) subscriber Default Provision file (provided by Cisco-Austin)
- Reconnect the 10BaseT management cable to the 6100 System I/O module. If necessary, reconnect the DS3 or OC3 cables to the ATM trunking equipment.
