DIB-500 R4.1 Function tests and operating surveillance
Checking the reachability of network elements
7.2.4 Checking operating states via SMT-500
The SMT (Service and Maintenance Tool) is a hardware component for checking the
operating statuses of the installed transceiver modules.
The following operating statuses can be checked through the SMT:
| Readiness for operation
| Voltage supply
| Readiness for operation of software components (n)
| Temperature
| Availability of the installed carriers
The procedures for checking operating statuses are described in the corresponding
product documentation, see Table 7.6.
7.3 Checking the reachability of network elements
Table 7.7 describes the standard IP address that is assigned while loading the platform
image of a transceiver module.
After network elements have been connected with the external layer-3 switch, you have
to check whether the respective network element can be reached via the IP address of
the first transceiver module, see Table 7.7The availability of the IP address is checked
with the command ping .
Proceed as follows to check the reachability of network elements:
Preparation:
✓ The service computer must be connected to the external layer-3 switch.
✓ The service computer must have been started already.
Carry out the following steps:
1. Call up the command prompt with the Windows menu Start > Programs > Accesso-
ries.
➥ The "command prompt" is displayed.
2. Enter the following command to check the reachability of the network element:
ping 10.255.25X.xx
"10.255.25X.xx" corresponds to the IP address of the first transceiver module within
the network element, see Table 7.7.
✓ You have successfully checked the reachability.
