4.3.4 Checking the availability
After network elements have been connected with an existing switch or router at the site,
it must be checked whether the respective network element can be reached via the IP
address of the BSCU. The NMC-511 FaultManager is used to check whether the IP
address can be reached. If this should not be possible, the ping command should be
used to check whether it can be reached.
IP addresses of installed components
The configured IP addresses can be displayed via the NMC-511 FaultManager in the
Properties view and are also documented in the project-specific documentation.
