MAPD Task 4: Testing MAPD/LAN
Connectivity (Optional)
Task 4 is a cooperative task between Avaya and the customer. The objective of
this task is to ensure that connectivity exists between the MAPD and the
customer’s network.
Make sure you are familiar with the configuration you are testing. For more
information, see Appendix E, ‘‘Sample Customer Configurations.’’
NOTE:
Connectivity to the MAPD system from a subscriber PC is not part of the
acceptance testing for this feature. Customers are responsible for verifying
that their LAN is communicating with the subscriber PCs.
Task 5: Pinging the MAPD —
Customer
The objective of this task is to determine if the MAPD’s IP address is recognized
by the customer’s network. The customer’s LAN administrator performs this
task.
Procedure to Ping the MAPD — Customer
From the LAN administration terminal, perform a standard LAN ping test into the
MAPD based on the addressing information used in "MAPD Task 2: Assigning the
MAPD Machine ID (Optional)".
The following example depicts pinging the MAPD with the default IP address. If
you administered your MAPD IP address for a private LAN, that is you changed
the default, use that IP address instead of the default.
ping -n20 -l64 192.168.25.10 (default IP address)
Task 5A, Alternative Procedures
Task 5, Alternative Procedures provides two tasks to carry out only if the customer
is not available for acceptance testing.
■"Task 5A1, Alternative Procedure to Ping the MAPD Itself — If Customer Is
Unavailable"
■"Task 5A2, Alternative Procedure — Pinging the Customer’s Network
Server — If Customer is Unavailable"
