Step 8: Observe Status Messages
If the router appears to successfully place the call, observe the
messages under Status Messages in the General Tab. Also look at
the Statistics Tab section. If anything appears to be wrong, consult
the network administrator or the ISDN provider and refer to the
manual included in the router package. You can also look at the
Tables Tab for specific feedback from the router about NRIP, SAP,
RIP, ARP, and NAT routing information.
Step 9: Hanging-up Calls
You can hang-up the call by selecting Hangup or, depending on
how you setup the router, the router may hang-up by itself.
Step 10: Exiting OverLAN Commander
Select Exit from the file menu to quit the current session of
OverLAN Commander. Remember, for any configuration changes
to affect the router, you must save changes to the router (Save
Setup).
Note: You can also setup and manage the router from its local
console port. The router's built in OverLAN Operating System has
similar functionality to OverLAN Commander but can only be
used locally with the router (not across the network) and it only has
a text menu interface -- a local console for the router can be very
useful such as when your network or the network of the router is
not operating correctly.
