Software Installation and Verification

Installation Verification

Asample configuration file /opt/acc/cfg/lapd_4ch_sample.answ file is provided with the ACC Developer Software Suite product. This sample file can be used to verify that the HDLC/LAP-D protocol module has been properly installed and is functional. Note that you need to customize this file, to reflect the location of the mux card(s) and to reflect the mux ports to be used. (The lapd_4ch_sample.answ file is shown in Appendix A , “Sample Configuration Files,”.)

The steps in the verification process are listed below. It is assumed that the ACC Developer Software Suite product is installed on the system, and that there is at least one ACC Multiplexer card installed with cabling attached.

A loopback cable should be used to connect two of the ports on the multiplexer. For the configuration file provided, it is assumed that the first two ports of the mux card are connected with a loopback cable.

Using the HDLC/LAP-D Protocol Module

The ACC Installation and Configuration Guide contains the general procedure for configuring the network configuration file, and starting up the ACC subsystem with the new protocol and new configuration. Refer to Chapter 4 , “Protocol Specific Configuration,” for HDLC/LAP-D specific configuration requirements when building the network configuration file.

Verification Procedure

The procedure described involves using the ttgen, zmntr, and zterm utilities. These utilities are described in the ACC Utilities Reference Guide.

Step 1. Modify the Mux definition statement in the /opt/acc/cfg/lapd_4ch_sample.answ to reflect the location of the ACC Mux cards if necessary. (Refer to Chapter 4 , “Protocol Specific Configuration,” for information on how to modify this statement.)

Step 2. The sample file only configures the first two ports of one mux card. If desired, expand the configuration file to include additional ports.
