Testing the Installation
54 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 11 Installation in Linux
11.2 Testing the Installation
At the end of the installation, perform a PING test to check
whether the software has been installed correctly. For this
purpose a test connection to the AVM Data Call Center
(ADC) in Berlin is established over the “pppd” module. This
test simulates dialing in to any ISP (Internet Service Provid-
er) using PPP sync in accordance with RFC 1618 over HDLC.
The necessary parameters for the test connection are pre-
defined in the “AVM” dialing script.
Version ppp-2.3.11-24 or higher of the Generic PPP Stack
(pppd) is required for Internet access. These versions are
included in all operating system packages from SUSE 6.4.
Proceed as follows to establish a test connection:
1. Start a console (command prompt).
2. Establish a pppd connection with the following com-
mand:
pppd call isdn/avm usepeerdns
For extensions with outside dialing access “0”, use
the following command:
pppd call isdn/avm numberprefix 0
usepeerdns
Once the test connection has been established, the output
window contains the PING transit time to the AVM server
over your ISDN-Controller. This means that installation was
successful.
Now you can start a web browser and access the AVM home
page. Enter www.avm.de/en.
Pre-defined scripts for dialing into different Internet Service
Providers over the console are included in the AVM soft-
ware package.
