CHAPTER 8: Link Configuration

8.8 Review Link Configuration

To review node configuration, select option 2,

Status/Statistics, from the Command Facility Main

Menu.

The node ID and number appear at the top of the

screen.

Each port configured as a link will be listed. The

node ID and number of any attached Multiserver or

feeder mux will be listed next to that port. A *NOT

CONNECTED* message could be the result of a

loose cable connection, noisy lines, or incompatible

configurations on the different sides of the link.

LINK # is the remote port to which the link is

attached. Multiserver ports are listed in standard

format: A01, A02, etc. COMP means that the link is

connected to a composite port on a feeder mux.

LINK TYPE is either I (interconnect link), M

(mux link), or X.21 (X.21 link).

The LINK STATUS is either UP, DOWN, or LOOP

(loopback test).

To review remote feeder muxes, access the

Command Facility of the remote Multiserver to

which the feeder muxes are attached. Then repeat

the instructions that are at the beginning of this

section.
