Replace the router lid and the power cord.
Secure the router’s lid. If you disconnected an RPS supply or interface
cables, reconnect them now.
The MAC is now ready to test.
Testing a MAC
There are several ways to check that the MAC is installed and operating
correctly. First, check that the router has recognised the card. Turn on the router
and enter the command:
SHOW SYSTEM
to display system information (Figure 58 on page 96).
The first part of the display shows details of the cards installed in the router.
There should be at least two entries, one for the router base card and one for
the MAC. Both the serial number and the part name should be displayed.
If there is no entry for the MAC then the router’s boot process has not correctly
detected the MAC’s presence. The most likely cause is that the MAC is not
plugged into the slot on the base card correctly. Repeat the installation process,
paying particular attention to Step 5.
Use the SHOW SYSTEM command again, and if the display is still not correct,
contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller.
If you have any difficulty with the MAC at any time, contact your authorised Allied
Telesyn distributor or reseller and quote the serial numbers of both the base card and the
MAC. The serial number and revision details can be read using the SHOW SYSTEM
command. It’s a good idea to record this information for later reference.
