Figure 45. The Sample Console Screen to Check the Physical Connection
Notes:
1This SHOW PORT command was issued when the physical cabling
has been done but the remote device is power off.
2You can get the status shown in several lines, but the main status is
shown in the first line. The UP-NO ACTIVITY means the status
physical cabling is done but no physical layer activity is detected.
3This SHOW PORT command was issued when the physical connection
was up and the remote device is been ready.
4The UP-OKAY means the remote device is attached to the ATM
network.
The typical reasons an ATM device might be unable to make a physical
connection are as follows:
•Cabling
If a fiber cable is used, check to see if the each end of the cable is
connected to the appropriate connector, transmit or receive. And if a copper
cable is used, check to see that the pinouts of the cable and each end of the
cable are matched, especially when you use a non-Forum-compliant adapter
or the connection is between ATM switches.
