1-30 CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
Monitoring ISDN Line Usage
After you have first configured the unit for use with ISDN, it is important to monitor ISDN line usage to ensure that the unit is working in the way you expect.
Check the ISDN 1 and ISDN 2 LEDs to ensure that unexpected calls are not being made or that connections are not remaining open when you expect them to have closed.
Even if the ISDN Utilization LEDs are not lit, call with little or no data transfer may be in progress depending on how you have connected or configured the unit. As in a conventional telephone call, charges are made regardless of what is sent down the line until the call is dropped.
If you want to ensure that ISDN line usage is limited, set up ISDN Timebands or set the Maximum Call Duration parameter. See the Software Reference guide for more information on these features.
Setting Up a WAN Link
If you are using the OfficeConnect Remote to connect to a remote site over a leased line link, the initial setup is very simple.
1Before you power on the unit, connect an appropriate WAN cable to the WAN port on the rear of the unit. If you have already powered on the unit, switch it off and connect the cable.
For more information about suitable cables, see Appendix B.
2Power on the unit.
The OfficeConnect Remote automatically configures the WAN port to the appropriate line speed.
3Refer to the Software Reference guide and edit the WAN port’s configuration as follows:
a From the main menu, enter CO PO. b Highlight the WAN port.
c Enter ED to display the Edit WAN Port screen shown in Figure
