Lucent Technologies PortMaster Testing the Setup

Configuration Steps for an Office-to-Office Connection

15-12 PortMaster Configuration Guide

Note – Configuring the maximum ports setting to a value higher than 0 causes the

PortMaster to dial out to a continuous location, or become available for dial-out to an

on-demand location. By configuring the maximum ports setting last, you ensure that

the PortMaster will not attempt to make a connection with a location until you have

configured all the settings for that location.

After you configure the location table as shown in Table15-9, enter the following

command to save the configuration:

Command> save all

For more information about configuring location table settings, refer to Chapter 8,

“Configuring Dial-Out Connections.”

Testing the Setup

You should test the configuration before setting either of the locations for on-demand

dialing. To test the configuration, follow these steps:

1. Enter the following commands to connec t from the Paris office to the

London office:

Command> set console s1

Command> set debug 0x51

Command> dial london

2. Monitor the dial-and-connect sequence between the two locations.

3. If everything connects as expected, reset the port on the Office Route r in

the Paris office, turn off debugging, and change the loc ation type to

on-demand.

Command> reset s1

Command> set debug off

Command> set location london on_demand
