3. Verify that ENABLED appears in the vadb_net_enabled and
vadb_rem_enabled fields. If ENABLED does not appear in
both fields, contact Installer Support and request that these
options be enabled.
4. Verify that the VADB access phone numbers appear in the
prim phone_num and bkup phone_num fields.
5. Make a note of the VADB gateway address. You will need
this address to test VADB functionality.
A user name and password are automatically generated and
downloaded with the VADB profile. The VADB feature uses this
user name and password to automatically connect to the Internet
if necessary.
Testing the telephone line
Follow these steps to test the telephone line to which the HN
router will be connected:
1. Connect a telephone handset to the telephone jack or splitter.
2. Dial the VADB access phone number listed in the prim
phone_num
field.
3. Listen for modem tones, which indicate the connection is
being established between the access number and the
handset.
If you do not hear modem tones, you may need to modify the
VADB access phone number to account for site-specific
dialing rules. For example, if dialing an 8 or 9 is required to
access an outside line at the site, you must add the required
number to the VADB access phone number. Ask a site
contact for site-specific dialing rules and then refer to the
installation specification for instructions on how to modify
the VADB access phone number.
