11.4 Problems Connecting to a Remote node or ISP

Table 11-4.

Troubleshooting a Connection to a Remote Node or ISP

 

 

 

Symptoms

 

Corrective Action

 

 

Can’t Connect to a remote node

Check Menu 24.1 to verify the WAN port status. If it indicates

or ISP

 

[down], then refer to the section on the WAN port problems.

 

 

 

 

 

In Menu 24.4.5, do a manual call to that remote node. The

 

 

messages will show you whether the call is successful. If the

 

 

call fails, verify the telephone number(s) in Menu 11.

 

 

 

 

 

If the call is successful, but the call still terminates, then it

 

 

must be a PPP negotiation problem. Verify the following

 

 

parameters in Menu 11: My Login, My Password, Route, IP

 

 

LAN Addr. Also verify your IP address in Menu 3.2.

 

 

 

 

 

Check the error log in Menu 24.3.1, this will usually give you

 

 

hints of why that call was dropped. If there is nothing in the

 

 

log, the call may have been dropped by the remote device.

 

 

Make sure that the configurations on the two devices are

 

 

consistent.
