Call Testing and TCP/IP Tools
Two test selections—Manual Call and Internet Setup Test—are available for testing call placement
and session connection with remote hosts. Both tests cause a call to be placed to a remote node and
display the progress of the connection. Manual Call (command 5) prompts the user to specify the
desired remote node by its profile number in Menu 11. Internet Setup Test (command 11)
automatically calls the remote node that has been specified as an ISP.
Enter 11 to select the Internet Setup Test, or enter 5 to select another remote node. This test checks
to see if your Internet access or remote node configuration has been done correctly. The router
dials the node, performs authentication, and establishes a connection. If everything is working
properly, you receive an appropriate response. If you receive an error message, note the error
message and consult your network administrator.
Figure 9-2 illustrates an example of a trace display for a successful call when using a TCP/IP
protocol connection.
