Verifying the Installation
5.2Verification with the Local Craft Tool
The LCT can be used without a connection to PEM or to any backbone network as described in section section Error! Reference source not found. on page Error! Bookmark not defined..
The LCT activates the IP DSLAMs (as well as providing an IP address to other nodes) and configures each IP DSLAM to start all the lines, and by using a CPE modem on each line, it is possible to verify that the ADSL connection is up and running. The registration process cannot be verified by using this method. Using the LCT is more time consuming than method 1, but not as time consuming as method 3.

The ECN320 Local Craft Tool
When the EDN312 IP DSLAM is embedded in an EAN as for example the EDN288 and connected to the ECN320 Ethernet Controller Node the line verification is done by means of the ECN320 Local Craft Tool. The ECN320 Local Craft Tool is an application used for checking the function of each IP DSLAM embedded in an EAN. When the ECN320 LCT has been connected to the ECN320 the line verfication is done by activating a line configuration script placed on the LCT, so the user starts a Windows Command Prompt, navigates to a folder with the script and activates the script. The following steps are taken:
1.Copy the 24 standard (“empty”) configuration files from the ECN320 flash disk to a folder on the LCT. The files are needed when reverting to the initial state.
