Cabletron Systems 1800 Reloading Auxiliary Console I nitiali zation

On-line Operat ions 19-15
It should be noted that pinging a SmartSwitch 1800 interface will verify only connec-
tivity to that SmartSw itch. Using the example in Figure 1 9-4, if the operator at device
A wants to ping device B, s/he must ping device B’s IP address.
To ping Node 1, the operator at device A must ping the IP address of interface 1. To
ping Node B, the operator must ping interface 3. To locate a connectivity problem
between A and B, the operator at device A should first ping interface 1. If a response
is received, the operator at A should then ping interface 3, then (if a response is
received) device B.

CSU/DSU Tests
To test the (optional) CSU/DSU port, the port must first be disabled. If necessary,
press [A] at the Operations Menu (or [B], [A] from the Ma in Menu) to disable the port.
To run a CSU/DSU test, press [I] at the Operations Menu, then press the letter corre-
spondi n g to the de sired te s t :
[A] = Self Test – tra nsmits a test pattern to th e analog portion of the circuitry and
loop the pattern back to itself.
[B] = Pattern Generation Test – transmits a PRBS (pseudo-random bit sequence)
test pattern to the remote device, which will loop the signals back.
Reloading Auxiliary Console I nitiali zation
This operation reloads the terminal settings defined for an async terminal connected
to the SmartSwitch 1800’s Console port.
Press [E] at the Operations Menu (or [B], [E] fr om the Main Men u). If an as ync t erminal
is connected the Console port, the initialization data will be sent.
