This appendix provides the test procedures necessary to ensure your Cisco 6100 Direct Connect configuration is connected correctly and is communicating with the ViewRunner.
To run the tests described in this appendix, you need the following equipment:
Before proceeding with these procedures, it is necessary to do a visual inspection of the chassis from the front and the back.
Viewing the Cisco 6100 system from the front, you can perform a visual inspection. You will need to:
1. Verify that the multiplexer chassis (MC), fan tray, and POTS splitter chassis (PSC) (if applicable) are securely mounted to relay rack.
2. Verify empty slots 10 and 11 of the MC have no bent pins (see Figure D-1 for slot locations).
Viewing the Cisco 6100 system from the rear, you can perform a visual inspection. You will need to:
1. Verify the cables from the MC to the PSC are in the proper position. There should be:
2. Verify that all cables are as described in the Cisco 6100 Set Up and Installation Manual.
3. Verify that all connectors are securely fastened (screwed in). CHAMP connectors should be tie wrapped to the connector bracket. (Figure D-2.)
4. Verify that the 10BaseT connection attached to the system I/O card.
5. Verify that the MC and the fan tray are grounded (Refer to the Cisco 6100 Set Up and Installation Manual).
6. Verify that -48V and -48V-RTN (both A and B) are wired to the MC from the proper sides of the fuse and alarm panel.
7. Verify that the correct fuse position is wired to MC (fuse panel slot 1).
8. Verify that the proper fuse position and values for both A and B power. The MC should be fused in fuse panel slot 1 with a 10A fuse
9. Verify that proper voltage is present on the MC (-48V to -52V).
To configure the management port IP information:
Step 1 From the Windows PC, load a terminal program (such as ProComm Plus or HyperTerminal).
Step 2 Configure the program for 38400 baud, 8 data bits, No stop bits, and 1 parity bit.
Step 3 Attach the 9-pin serial cable to the PC and the SC front panel DB-9 connector.
Step 4 Press Enter to bring up the run time menu.
Step 5 Wait for all LEDs on the SC to turn off.
Step 6 Once they turn off, and immediately press Enter on the PC. This should bring up the SC IP configuration menu. If the SC has already exited the self test, you can restart this step by removing and reinstalling the SC.
Step 7 Using the appropriate menu options, configure the IP address, Subnet Mask, IP Gateway. The Server IP address should be configured for the address of the laptop PC which will be used to run the ViewRunner application.
Step 8 Choose the menu option to save the configuration to EEPROM.
Step 9 Choose the Exit option from the menu. When prompted to reset the system, enter Y and press Enter.
To attach ViewRunner management software to the Cisco 6100:
Step 1 Verify the PC that will be used during these Connection Test Procedures has an IP address that is on the same subnet as the Cisco 6100 IP address configured in the previous section.
Step 2 Unplug the 10BaseT connection from the MC system I/O card and connect the PC to the system I/O card using a 10BaseT crossover cable. IP connectivity to the MC can be verified at this point by pinging the MC from the PC.
Step 3 Load ViewRunner for Windows. The default username and password is admin.
Step 4 Choose Options >> 6100 Addresses from the pull down menu.
Step 5 Type in the SC IP address as configured in the previous section and an optional name for this system.
Step 6 Choose Add, then choose OK.
Step 7 From the drop down list at the top of the screen, select the 6100 IP address from the list of IP addresses, and press the Discover button. The Discover button has an icon with circular arrows and is positioned immediately to the right of the IP address window.
Step 8 Verify that all installed modules are properly discovered.
To provision the Cisco 6100 for the test:
Step 1 To save the current configuration of the MC to the PC, select File >> Save Configuration.
Step 2 To view the current MC software version running on the MC, double-click on the SC and look at the Module Properties Configuration screen in ViewRunner. If necessary update the software on the MC.
Step 3 If a software update was necessary, build a new configuration. Make sure the new configuration matches the old configuration of the MC. See "Upgrading the Cisco 6100 Software" chapter in the ViewRunner manual.
Step 4 Right-click on the MC top border and select 6100 Properties >> Configuration.
Step 5 Set the proper date and time and select OK.
Step 6 Verify all installed ATU-C modules have GREEN tabs and all other ATU-C module slots have BLUE tabs. A BLUE tab indicates a provisioned but non-installed module).
If you choose to test system connectivity, you will need to run a Zing Test on all 64 lines to verify that all ATU-C ports successfully train with the Cisco 675.
Step 1 Attach octopus cable to the CHAMP connector labeled for line 1-16.
Step 2 Train Cisco 675 on line 1.
Step 3 To perform BERT test on the line:
(a) Log in to the Cisco 675 via an Ethernet or serial port.
(b) From the prompt, type: enable debug commands and press Enter.
(c) From the prompt, type: int wan0 stay and press Enter.
(d) From the prompt, type: debug bert on and press Enter.
This command initiates the Bert test.
(e) From the prompt, type: debug bert header 00100010 and press Enter.
This sets the header bits of the outgoing cells, and qualifies the incoming cells. Note that these are the four bytes of header not including the calculated HEC byte. See the table below for a description of the bit fields.
| 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) From the prompt, type: debug bert count and press Enter.
This displays a count of the BERT errors and cell loss since the previous query. The first number reported is the number of cells with sequence errors, the second number is the number of cells with bit errors.
(g) Repeat Step 2 through Step3g for all 16 lines.
(h) Repeat to Zing Test for the CHAMP connector labeled for lines 16 through32, 33 through 48, and 49 through 64.
If you choose to verify the Cisco 7200 configuration, you will need to:
Step 1 Verify that the Cisco 7200 configuration has no errors.
Step 2 Unloop the DS-3 and attach it to the Cisco 7200. [[what about with a OC-3c?]]
If you choose to test PPP connectivity, you will need to:
Step 1 Install additional 66 blocks as necessary (need 4 for full 64 port configuration).
Step 2 Punch-down MDF cables to the 66 blocks according to the tables provided in the Cisco 6100 Set Up and Installation Manual.
Step 3 Use a 66 Block RJ-11 jumper on first punched line.
Step 4 Attach the Cisco 675 to the RJ-11 jumper via phone cable.
Step 5 Power the Cisco 675 and verify that the PPP LCP and NCP states are OPEN after the train.
Step 6 Move the RJ-11 jumper to next punched line and repeat until all punched lines are verified.
