Task 13: Test LAN/Client Connectivity
(Optional)

Task 13 is performed to test the TCP/IP connection to ensure that connectivity
exists between the DEFINITY LAN Gateway and the customer’s LAN, as well as
between the DEFINITY LAN Gateway and a client. This testing should be done
jointly with the customer’s LAN administrator.

NOTE:

Connectivity to the DEFINITY LAN Gateway 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.
