Troubleshooting A-3

The WAN Ready LED is solid red

This is an indication that the Netopia Router is unable to synchronize with the switch at your ISDN service provider’s central office.

Confirm that you have entered the correct directory numbers when configuring the Router.

Confirm that you have configured the Router with the correct ISDN switch protocol. The protocol selected should match the one used on your ISDN line.

Check the ISDN event history to see what error it reports. You can select any event shown in the history and press Return to see more information on that event.

The WAN Ready LED is off

The initial call made or received on the ISDN line may activate the WAN Ready LED. You can also activate the LED by using the ISDN loopback test. See “The ISDN loopback test” on

page 10-9for more information on using the ISDN loopback test.

Calls do not go through

If the Ready LED is glowing solid green and the ISDN loopback test is successful, calls you make with the Netopia Router should go through. There may be several reasons why a particular call does not go through:

The number being dialed is wrong.

The connection profile being used has the Dial On Demand parameter (in the Telco Options screen) set to No. It should be set to Yes, or you must manually initiate the call.

The connection profile being used has the Dial parameter (in the Telco Options screen) set to Dial In Only. It should be set to Dial In/Out or Dial Out Only.

The IP address is not set to 0.0.0.0 in the connection profile.
