1. On the two Routers connected together (via a phone line) enter:
dialup modemX status
where modemX is
modem0 on an AR-P or Sync Router,
and modem0 – modem4 on an AR-5.
For an AR-5, repeat the procedure for each configured modem interface and its peer. The dialup line
above will output a message like:
(tcp/ip)croy> dialup modem0 status
modem0: (28800/V1.000-V34-DP)

2. Look for demand_backoff or demand on the first line of the output. One Router should have
demand_backoff and the other should have demand. If this is the case, you are done.
If both Routers have demand, enter (on one of the Routers):
dialup modemX demand_backoff
If both Routers have demand_backoff, enter (on one of the Routers):
dialup modemX demand
3. Issue the config show command on the pre-4.2 Router.
4. Look for lines that start with ipx wan, or this exact line:
ipx internal_net net_number
5. If you find such lines, enter the following line for the corresponding interface:
ipx ipxwan iface disable
IPXWAN is no longer supported on the Router. IPXCP will be used as the default.
6. On the Router that you changed, enter:
config save
The two Routers are now ready to route.
Using Analog Leased Lines?
If your site requires 2 or more hours per day of continuous connection time, it may be less expensive to
lease a 2-wire voice-grade line and keep the link up all the time, rather than using a dialup connection.
