6. The correct Port Number appears in the dialog box.
7. Enter the user name of the MCU in the User Name field.
8. Enter the MCU password in the Password field.
9. Click the Add button. The Add MCU dialog box closes. A new icon with
the specified MCU name appears in the Browser pane below the MCUs
Network icon.
Running Diagnostic Tests
After you connect to an MCU, you can run the diagnostic tests. The Falcon
tool reads the available cards in the MCU, and a list of tests relevant to the
selected element is displayed in the Test Selection box. For a list of the
specific tests run on each element, see “Diagnostic Tests” on page D-3.
Connecting the LAN and ISDN Loopback cables
PPP (Point to Point Protocol) support enables the operator to establish TCP/IP
communication with the MCU over a telephone line with a modem, or
directly by means of a serial connection. If a modem connection is used, the
modem must be connected to one of the MCU's serial connectors. If a direct
line connection is used, the remote station must be connected to the MCU by
means of a Null Modem cable. When the PPP is used, there is no need to run
the LAN test. If you do not fill in the IP Test box, a pop-up box appears when
the LAN test is about to run. You can cancel the LAN test at that time.
To connect the LAN cable and the ISDN Loopback cable to the MGC-25
unit:
1. On the MGC-25 unit, ensure that the Control LAN cable is connected to
the Control LAN port.
If you run a LAN test on an IP+ or IPN card, or an ISDN Loop test on an
IPN card, you must connect the ISDN Loopback or LAN cables to the
MCU before you run the diagnostic tests.
