Show Advanced Diagnostics for Routers

Select this option to enable a line diagnostics troubleshooting tool in OverLAN Commander. Once enabled, close the Router. Properties dialog box. Then, reselect the router. When reselected, the Router Properties dialog box will include tabs for Advanced Diagnostics and ISDN Trace. These features are provided primarily to help Technical Support at Ringdale to determine the operating condition of the router.

Re-transmission Timeout (Sec)

This is the time in seconds that the router will wait for a response from the device it is calling before attempting to re-transmitt to the device. Generally, 1 second should be sufficient for most devices. However, sometimes a setting of 2 seconds can help to compensate for a congested network or a slow device. In extreme cases, even 3 or 4 seconds could be necessary. If you must set this option to more than 4 seconds, you may want to inquire to the associated Network Administrator, ISDN Provider, or telephone company about whether or not there is an excessively congested ISDN phone switch or some other similar kind of problem that needs attention.
