Software Installation and Verification

Installation Verification

Asampleconfigurationfile/opt/acc/cfg/lapb_sample.answ file is

provided with the ACC Developer Software Suite product. This sample

file can be used t o verify that the HDLC/LAP-B (ABM) protocol module

has been properly installed and is functional. Note that you may need to

customize this file, to reflect the location of the mux card(s) and to reflect

themuxportstobeused.Thelapb_sample.answ file is shown in

Appendix A , “Sample Configuration Files,” on page 55.

The steps in the verification process are listed below. It is assumed that

the ACC Developer Software Suite product is installed on the system,

and that there is at least one ACC Mux card installed with a cable and

mux panel attached.

At least one loopback cable should be used to connect t wo of the ports on

the mux panel. For the configuration file provided, it is assumed that the

first two ports of the mux card are connected with a loopback cable, and

that the end of the cable marked “Int” is connected to port 0.

Using the HDLC/LAP-B (ABM) Protocol Module

The ACC Installation and Configuration Guide contains the general

procedure for configuring the network configuration file, creating

customized downloadable firmware files (except for T1/E1 4-channel

cards), and starting up the ACC subsystem with the new protocol and

new configuration. To add HDLC/LAP-B (ABM ) to a firmware file, see

“Download Linkage” on page 59 in Appendix A of this manual.

Refer to Chapter 4 , “Protocol Specific Configuration,” in this manual for

HDLC/LAP-B (ABM) specific configuration requirements when building

the network configuration file.
