PA-MC-T3-EC Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

Chapter 5 Configuring the Channelized Mode
Checking the Configuration
Step 3
Repeat the
ping
command using the IP address of the local serial interface. Using the previous example
where the remote server’s IP address was 10.0.0.10, if the local IP address is 10.0.0.5, then use the
command:
ping 10.0.0.5
If the ping is successful, proceed to Step 4. A failure indicates a configuration problem or a hardware
problem with the PA-MC-T3-EC.
Step 4
Remove the local loop with the
no loopback
command and place the remote server or DSU in network
loopback with the
loopback remote
command.
Note
The
loopback remote
command is only available when the framing is set to c-bit parity. If the framing
is not set to c-bit parity, the remote server will have to be placed into network loopback by someone at
the remote site.
Step 5
Repeat Step 3. If the ping is successful, then the PA-MC-T3-EC and the T3 link to the remote site is
functioning correctly. The problem is probably in the remote DSU or server configuration or hardware.
If the ping fails, then a problem exists for: the T3 link to the remote site, the remote server , the DSU
configuration, or the hardware.
