3 • Configuring the RAS for operation

 

 

Note If the RAS does not respond as described, the most likely cause is that the RAS default settings are not compatible with the T1/E1 line. If this is the case, use the RS-232 CONFIG port to correct the RAS set- tings. You will have to examine the T1/E1 Link section in the config- uration pages in the RAS.

6.There are two LEDs on the RAS 10/100 Ethernet port: a green LED that indicates line speed, and a yellow LED that indicates link status and activity.

Verify that the yellow LED is either flashing yellow (meaning that packets are being received at the Ether- net port) or solid yellow (meaning that the link is valid but no packets are being received).

Congratulations! Your RAS is now installed. For more in-depth information about configuring your RAS set- tings, refer to the Access Server Administrator’s Reference Guide available online at www.patton.com/manuals/ 29xx-arg/pdf. Otherwise, refer to Chapter 4, “Operation and shutdown” for information on activating and de-activating your remote access server.
