failed

may be a configuration issue or other failure with your provider's equipment.

 

Contact your service provider.

Self Test

The Self Test performs an integrity check of certain internal components of the Router. The following is a list of the possible responses:

 

Self Test

Success

The Router is operating correctly.

Flash Corrupt

Explanation: The self-test process has detected a problem with internal flash

 

memory.

 

Solution: Restart the Router. If the error persists, contact your service provider.

 

 

PING ISPs' Router

The IP remote router test performs an IP network check (i.e., an IP Ping) of the Service Provider's Router. This test verifies that the Router can exchange IP traffic with an entity on the other side of the DSL line. The following is a list of the possible responses:

 

PING ISP’s Router

Success

The Router has detected an IP remote router connection.

No Response

Explanation: This message will occur when an IP remote Router does not

 

answer the IP Ping.

 

Solution: This test fails when the provider's Router does not give its IP address

 

to the Router during session establishment. Try Pinging another host, using the

 

Ping test near the bottom of the Diagnostic screen. If you are able to Ping any

 

host, or even if you are able to find an IP address for a given host name (try

 

"www.yahoo.com"), then the failure of the "IP Remote Router" test is moot,

 

because the success of the Ping demonstrates that you are getting IP traffic

 

across the DSL line. If the separate Ping fails as well, contact your service

 

provider.

could not test

Explanation: Test could not be executed because of Router status.
