If trap dial-out is desired, the PC or asynchronous terminal must be disconnected from

Verifying the End-to-End Path
After installation of a remote site unit, run an IP Ping test to ping the NMS at the central
site and verify that the entire path from the remote unit to the NMS is functioning. To run
the IP Ping test, NMS trap managers must have been configured for the remote unit.
One of those trap managers must be the central site NMS.
