Run PMVision

Using a Crossover Cable

An independent laptop or desktop workstation equipped with a network interface card can be used to run PMVison. Connect an Ethernet crossover cable between the Ethernet connection on the workstation and the Ethernet port on the INA module. (See “Crossover Cable” on page B-3.)

Before proceeding, determine the Ethernet address that the INA module has been set to. Set the workstation’s IP address to an address on the same subnet as the module’s Ether0 address. An easy way to do so is to choose an address one number above or below the module’s address.

Run PMVision

Before configuring the INA module with PMVISION, make sure you have done the following:

Assign T1/PRI channels to the INA module. See “Assign T1/PRI Channels” on page 2-2.)

Collect all the information needed for your network. (See “Network Settings” on page 2-2.)

To start PMVision, select the PMVision icon from the Lucent folder in your Start Programs menu. The main PMVision screen appears (Figure 6-1).
