The Discover button has an icon with circular arrows and is positioned near the IP address window.
Step 10 Verify that all installed modules are properly discovered through ViewRunner.
|
Note For additional information, refer to the chapter on Discovery in the ViewRunner for Windows User Guide or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView User Guide. |
To provision the Cisco 6100 Series system for the test, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Double-click on the system controller module and look at the Module Properties Configuration dialog box in ViewRunner to view the current Cisco 6100/6130 chassis software version running on the chassis.
If necessary, update the software on the chassis. Refer to the ViewRunner for Windows User Guide or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView User Guide for software download instructions.
Step 3 Build a new configuration of the chassis if a software update is necessary.
Make sure the new configuration matches the old configuration of the chassis. Refer to the ViewRunner for Windows User Guide or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView User Guide for software download instructions.
Step 4 Right-click the Cisco 6100/6130 chassis top border and select Configuration from the 6100 Properties menu.
Step 5 Set the proper date and time.
Step 6 Select OK.
Step 7 Verify that all installed xTU-C modules have green tabs.
Step 8 Verify that all other (noninstalled) xTU-C module slots have blue tabs. A blue tab indicates a provisioned but noninstalled module.
This system connectivity test is a method for testing connectivity between the Cisco 6100 Series system and the MDF for all xTU-C ports in the system. This test is also known as a Zing Test.
|
Note The system connectivity test is optional. The Cisco 675 and Cisco 678 are the only CPE devices that can perform bit error rate (BER) testing. |
Complete the following steps to test system connectivity:
If you use 66-type punchdown blocks, you can make the connection by using a cable with alligator clips on one end and an RJ-11 connector on the other. Depending on the type of MDF that you are using, a different cabling configuration can be required.
Step 2 Loop back the network interface port.
For a DS3 network interface module, attach a short coax cable between the DS3 transmit and receive connectors to loop back the interface. For an OC-3c network interface module, use a short multimode or single-mode fiber to loop back the interface.
Step 3 Train the CPE device to the first modem port on the Cisco 6100/6130.
Step 4 To perform a BER test on the line, use these steps:
a. Log in to the CPE device using an Ethernet or serial port.
b. Type enable debug commands and press Enter.
c. Type int wan0 stay and press Enter.
|
Note This step prevents the CPE device from trying to retrain, even though it does not recognize far-end terminating equipment on the far end. |
d. Type debug bert on and press Enter.
e. Type debug bert header 00100011 and press Enter.
| 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GFC | VPI | ||||||
VPI | VCI | ||||||
VCI | VCI | ||||||
VCI | PTI | CLP | |||||
Example: VPI=1, VCI=1 (GFC=0, PTI=0, CLP=0) across the ADSL loop: | |||||||
f. Type debug bert count and press Enter.
|
Note The meaning for each of the top two LEDS on the CPE device changes during the BER test. The BERT SYNC LED (WAN LNK) is illuminated once the CPE device detects a valid BER test pattern. The BERT ERROR LED (WAN ACT) is toggled whenever the CPE device detects a BER test error. During a successful BER test, the WAN LNK LED is illuminated. The WAN ACT LED is solid (either off or on, but not blinking). |
g. Repeat Step 3 through Step 4g for the remaining 15 lines.
h. Repeat the Zing test for the Champ connectors labeled for lines 16 through 32, 33 through 48, and 49 through 64.
This section provides instructions for testing point-to-point protocol (PPP) connectivity.
|
Note Testing PPP connectivity is optional. The Cisco 633 does not have PPP connectivity capabilities. |
If you use 66-type punchdown blocks, you can make the connection by using a cable with alligator clips on one end and an RJ-11 connector on the other. A different cabling configuration can be required depending on the MDF type.
Step 2 Power on the CPE device.
Step 3 Verify that the PPP LCP and NCP states are open after the train.
Step 4 Move the RJ-11 jumper to the next punched line and repeat the procedure until you verify all punched lines.
