Hughes HN7700S manual

3.Verify that ENABLED appears in the vadb_net_enabled and vadb_rem_enabled fields. If ENABLED does not appear in both fields, contact Installer Support and request that these options be enabled.

4.Verify that the VADB access phone numbers appear in the prim phone_num and bkup phone_num fields.

5.Make a note of the VADB gateway address. You will need this address to test VADB functionality.

A user name and password are automatically generated and downloaded with the VADB profile. The VADB feature uses this user name and password to automatically connect to the Internet if necessary.

Testing the telephone line Follow these steps to test the telephone line to which the HN

router will be connected:

1.Connect a telephone handset to the telephone jack or splitter.

2.Dial the VADB access phone number listed in the prim phone_num field.

3.Listen for modem tones, which indicate the connection is being established between the access number and the handset.

If you do not hear modem tones, you may need to modify the VADB access phone number to account for site-specific dialing rules. For example, if dialing an 8 or 9 is required to access an outside line at the site, you must add the required number to the VADB access phone number. Ask a site contact for site-specific dialing rules and then refer to the installation specification for instructions on how to modify the VADB access phone number.
