ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, ASYNC ROUTER AR-5, SYNC ROUTER RELEASE NOTES

1. On the two Routers connected together (via a phone line) enter:

dialup modemX status

where modemX is

modem0 on an AR-P or Sync Router,

and modem0 – modem4 on an AR-5.

For an AR-5, repeat the procedure for each configured modem interface and its peer. The dialup line above will output a message like:

(tcp/ip)croy> dialup modem0 status
modem0: (28800/V1.000-V34-DP)
DTR On	RTS On CTS On	DSR On RI Off DCD Off
demand	listening	Timeout: 240	Idle: 0:00:2:16

Total time con: 0:01:36:13 Time since last boot: 5:03:59:32
Average daily connected time: 0:00:18:37

Usage warning currently set at: 0:04:00:00 (tcp/ip)croy>

2.Look for demand_backoff or demand on the first line of the output. One Router should have demand_backoff and the other should have demand. If this is the case, you are done.

If both Routers have demand, enter (on one of the Routers):

dialup modemX demand_backoff

If both Routers have demand_backoff, enter (on one of the Routers):

dialup modemX demand

3.Issue the config show command on the pre-4.2 Router.

4.Look for lines that start with ipx wan, or this exact line:

ipx internal_net net_number

5. If you find such lines, enter the following line for the corresponding interface:

ipx ipxwan iface disable

IPXWAN is no longer supported on the Router. IPXCP will be used as the default.

6. On the Router that you changed, enter:

config save

The two Routers are now ready to route.

Using Analog Leased Lines?

If your site requires 2 or more hours per day of continuous connection time, it may be less expensive to lease a 2-wire voice-grade line and keep the link up all the time, rather than using a dialup connection.
