Task 13: Test LAN/Client Connectivity (Optional)
Task 13 is performed to test the TCP/IP connection to ensure that connectivity exists between the DEFINITY LAN Gateway and the customer’s LAN, as well as between the DEFINITY LAN Gateway and a client. This testing should be done jointly with the customer’s LAN administrator.
NOTE:
Connectivity to the DEFINITY LAN Gateway system from a subscriber PC is not part of the acceptance testing for this feature. Customers are responsible for verifying that their LAN is communicating with the subscriber PCs.
