Verifying Network Addresses, the Network, and DBM Operation
Establish a backup connection and perform a Digital Test over the backup connection to ensure that the switched network is functioning. Access the DSU's identity (ID) subbranch for the tributary DSU to ensure that the DSU is properly addressed.
Verify that no alarms appear in the Device Health and Status subbranches. Refer to the Verifying Operation and Testing Connections section of Chapter 2 for procedures that lead you through each of these procedures.
