Monitoring ISDN Line Usage

After you have first configured the unit for use with

ISDN, it is important to monitor ISDN line usage to

ensure that the unit is working in the way you expect.

Check the ISDN 1 and ISDN 2 LEDs to ensure that

unexpected calls are not being made or that

connections are not remaining open when you

expect them to have closed.

Even if the ISDN Utilization LEDs are not lit, call with

little or no data transfer may be in progress depending

on how you have connected or configured the unit.

As in a conventional telephone call, charges are made

regardless of what is sent down the line until the call is

dropped.

If you want to ensure that ISDN line usage is limited,

set up ISDN Timebands or set the

Maximum Call

Duration

parameter. See the

Software Reference

guide

for more information on these features.

Setting Up a WAN Link

If you are using the OfficeConnect Remote to

connect to a remote site over a leased line link, the

initial setup is very simple.

appropriate WAN cable to the WAN port on the rear

of the unit. If you have already powered on the unit,

switch it off and connect the cable.

For more information about suitable cables, see

Appendix B

.

2

Power on the unit.

The OfficeConnect Remote automatically configures

the WAN port to the appropriate line speed.

3

Refer to the

Software Reference

guide and edit the

WAN port’s configuration as follows:

a

From the main menu, enter

CO PO

.

b

Highlight the WAN port.

to display the Edit WAN Port screen

shown in

Figure 1-15
