Checking the DTE Connection

Perform these checks for both user data ports.

Procedure

1.Verify that the Port OK LED is on. If not, make sure both ends of the cable are properly seated and secured. Then, check the DTE; RTS or DTR could be down on the DTE.

The FrameSaver SLV 9128 has a Port OK LED for each port.

The FrameSaver SLV 9128-II has one Port OK LED for both ports. If either port is enabled and active, the LED is on. If both ports are enabled and one of the ports is inactive, the LED is off.

2.Check Health and Status messages in the left column of the System and Test Status screen for messages.

Main Menu Status System and Test Status

If System Operational appears, the port interface is set up correctly and is operational.

If not, refer to Status Information in the User’s Guide.

NOTE:

When any error conditions are detected, a status message appears along the bottom right corner of the screen.

Verifying That Data is Being Received

Procedure

1.Return to the Main Menu, then select Status.

2.Select Performance Statistics, and select an interface’s frame relay statistics (e.g., Network Frame Relay).

Main Menu Status Performance Statistics Network Frame Relay

3.Clear the statistics and see whether the counts for Frames Received and Characters Received under the Frame Relay Link are incrementing, and verify that there are no errors under the Frame Relay LMI statistics. Refresh the screen to update the counts.

If data is being received, the count increments after refreshing the screen.

If data is not being received, recheck the cable connections, and replace or repair a damaged cable. Recheck LMI status; you may need to contact your service provider. Next, check the DLCI’s status.
