Testing the connection between the AP server and the
provisioning server
To make sure that the AP server and the provisioning server are communicating:
1 On the provisioning server, open the home page of the provisioning server interface.
For more information about the provisioning server, refer to Chapter 2, “Working with
the provisioning server” in the guide “Configuring and monitoring the ISP network.”
2 On the home page, check the Access Provider Connection group. The Status field shows
if the provisioning server and the AP server are connected.
3 To refresh the status, click the Refresh Status link.
Ensuring CPE access to ISP VLAN
Use an indoor CPE to test CPE access to the ISP’s VLAN.
To ensure that CPEs can access the ISP VLAN:
1 Make sure the ISP has integrated their customer relationship management (CRM)
application with the provisioning server and the server’s CPE database. Use the CRM
application to add a CPE to the CPE database on the provisioning server.
2 Install and power up the indoor CPE as described in the guide “Expedience Broadband
Wireless Access Modem”. This guide describes how to set up the CPE and scan for
service. During installation, the CPE attempts to register with the base station on which
you are performing the test.
3 If the AP server recognizes the base station’s zone (as defined in the section “set system
location” on page 5-41) the AP server forwards the request to the proper ISP, that is the
ISP that is being tested.
4 The ISP’s provisioning server recognizes the CPE in the CPE database. Permission to
access the ISP network is granted to the CPE.
5 Once the CPE has received permission to access, the indication lights on the CPE stop
blinking and remain continuously lit. On the host computer attached to the CPE, you
should be able to access web sites.
