Running Diagnostic Tests<br />

Appendix A - Falcon Diagnostic Tool<br />

After you connect to an MCU, you can run the diagnostic tests. The Falcon tool reads the<br />

available cards in the MCU, and a list of tests relevant to the selected element is displayed<br />

in the Test Selection box. For a list of the specific tests run on each element, see<br />

“Diagnostic Tests” on page 1-66.<br />

Connecting the ISDN Loopback and LAN cables<br />

If you run a LAN test on an IP+ or IPN card, or an ISDN Loop test on an<br />

IPN card, you must connect the ISDN Loopback or LAN cables to the<br />

MCU before you run the diagnostic tests<br />

PPP (Point to Point Protocol) support enables the operator to establish TCP/IP<br />

communication with the MCU over a telephone line with a modem, or directly by means of<br />

a serial connection. If a modem connection is used, the modem must be connected to one of<br />

the MCU's serial connectors. If a direct line connection is used, the remote station must be<br />

connected to the MCU by means of a Null Modem cable. When the PPP is used, there is no<br />

need to run the LAN test. If you do not fill in the IP Test box, a pop-up box appears when<br />

the LAN test is about to run. You can cancel the LAN test at that time.<br />

To connect the LAN cable and the ISDN Loopback cable to the <strong>MGC</strong>-<strong>25</strong> unit:<br />

1. On the <strong>MGC</strong>-<strong>25</strong> unit, ensure that the Control LAN cable is connected to the Control<br />

LAN port.<br />

2. Ensure that a second LAN cable is connected to the LAN 1A port. These two cables are<br />

necessary to run the LAN diagnostic tests on the installed IPN cards.<br />
