Verify the Installation

SAVE CONFIGURATION FILES

We have now configured all of the required information for a bridged system with Calling Line Id Security and Bridge MAC Address Security enabled. Press 4 at the Main menu to save the changes. The old configuration files will be stored in the \CONFIG directory with a file extension of .BAK (e.g., the old NODE.NEI file will be called NODE.BAK).

After you save the configuration files, press <RET> to exit the CFGEDIT program. Reboot the system to activate your changes.

VERIFY THE INSTALLATION

Steps on how to verify the installation are detailed in the System Verification chapter of the User’s Guide. This section gives an outline of which steps should be executed.

On the CyberSWITCH:

Verify hardware resources are operational

Issue dr command

Look for BRI messages

Look for LAN initialized messages

Verify WAN Lines Available

Connect WAN lines

Issue dr command

Look for “Data Link up 1,1” in reports

On each HDLC Bridge LAN:

Attempt accessing a resource on the CyberSWITCH LAN. This may require that you reboot your system and proceed through the logon sequence.
