CHAPTER 8: Link Configuration

8.8 Review Link Configuration

To review node configuration, select option 2, Status/Statistics, from the Command Facility Main Menu.

COMMAND FACILITY MAIN MENU [node id]

2 STATUS/STATISTICS

STATUS/STATISTICS [node id]

1 NODE STATUS

The node ID and number appear at the top of the screen.

Each port configured as a link will be listed. The node ID and number of any attached Multiserver or feeder mux will be listed next to that port. A *NOT CONNECTED* message could be the result of a loose cable connection, noisy lines, or incompatible configurations on the different sides of the link.

LINK # is the remote port to which the link is attached. Multiserver ports are listed in standard format: A01, A02, etc. COMP means that the link is connected to a composite port on a feeder mux.

LINK TYPE is either I (interconnect link), M (mux link), or X.21 (X.21 link).

The LINK STATUS is either UP, DOWN, or LOOP (loopback test).

To review remote feeder muxes, access the Command Facility of the remote Multiserver to which the feeder muxes are attached. Then repeat the instructions that are at the beginning of this section.
