Testing the Installation
ISDN-Controller C2 – 7 Installation in Linux 39
7.2 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 simu-
lates dialing in to any ISP (Internet Service Provider) using
PPP sync in accordance with RFC1618 over HDLC. The neces-
sary 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 in-
cluded in all operating system packages from SuSE 6.4 on-
wards.
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 suc-
cessful.
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 are included in the AVM software package.
