Connecting to the network
Use this procedure to complete and test network connections.
Procedure:
1
If a management PC is connected directly to the PTP 550, disconnect it.
2
Confirm that all ODU Ethernet interface cables (PSU, SFP) are connected to the correct
network terminating equipment or devices.
3
Test that the unit is reachable from the network management system by opening the web
interface to the management agent, or by requesting ICMP echo response packets using the
Ping application. For in-band management, test that both units are reachable from one PC.
If the network management system is remote from the sites, either ask co-workers at the
management center to perform this test, or use remote login to the management system.
4
Test the data network for correct operation across the wireless link. This may be by
requesting ICMP echo response packets between hosts in the connected network segments,
or by some more structured use of network testing tools.
5
Monitor the Ethernet ports and wireless link to confirm that they are running normally.
