6. Once you have verified all of the Dialing Preferences, you should test the dialup modem connection to the Escient
servers. From the Dialing Preferences Quick Start screen, select the “Test Connection” button. This will start the Dialup
Modem Test which will test the following network settings:
a. Phone line test will check that the modem is connected to a live phone line which provides a dial tone.
b. The access number to the ISP using the first access number.
c. The connection to the ISP using the negotiated protocols of your particular modem.
d. The login and password for the user’s account.
e. The connection to the Escient servers.
If any of these tests fail, check the phone line wiring with the proper test equipment. Using the same ISP, account information, and cables, test that
you can access the internet using a standard PC.
Static IP Addressing is not allowed with a dialup internet connection. Your ISP will supply a dynamic IP address once the connection is established
and the user’s account has been authenticated.
