Juniper Networks J-Series manual Verifying Dialer Interface Configuration

J-series™ Services Router Administration Guide

■In the J-Web configuration editor, clear the Disable check box on the Interfaces>interface-namepage.

■The physical link is Up. A link state of Down indicates a problem with the interface module, interface port, or physical connection (link-layer errors).

■The Last Flapped time is an expected value. The Last Flapped time indicates the last time the physical interface became unavailable and then available again. Unexpected flapping indicates likely link-layer errors.

■The traffic statistics reflect expected input and output rates. Verify that the number of inbound and outbound bytes and packets matches expected throughput for the physical interface. To clear the statistics and see only new changes, use the clear interfaces statistics interface-namecommand.

■The modem initialization command string has a nonzero value for the S0=n modem command. A nonzero value is required to configure the modem to automatically answer calls. For example, the command S0=2 configures the modem to automatically answer calls on the second ring.

For more information, see “Modifying USB Modem Initialization Commands” on page 41.

■The modem initialization status is Ok. If the initialization status is shown as Error or Not Initialized, do the following:

1.Verify that the modem initialization commands are valid. If the modem initialization sequence includes invalid commands, correct them, as described in “Modifying USB Modem Initialization Commands” on page 41.

2.If the modem initialization commands are valid, reset the modem. For more information, see “Resetting USB Modems” on page 42.

Determine the following information:

■The call status

■The duration of the call
