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.
