Verifying the End-to-End Path
After installation of a remote site unit, run an IP Ping test to ping the NMS at the central site and
verify that the entire path from the remote unit to the NMS is functioning. To run the IP Ping test,
NMS trap managers must have been configured for the remote unit. One of those trap managers
must be the central site NMS.
