information on this.
The Nokia A032 issues the command to dial. You
should hear the modem dialling and attempting to
connect. If, successful the modem will notify the
Nokia A032 and proceed to the next stage.
If the line is busy or you’ve specified the wrong
ISP number, the connection will fail. One possible
failure at this point is that the modem uses an
unusual message to indicate connection. The last
message received can be seen in the Modem
Status web management screen (see the printed
Nokia A032 Wireless LAN Access Point User
Guide or the A032_User_Guide.pdf file). It should
normally contain the word “Connected”. If not, you
may need to use a special initialization string to
get the correct message (check the Nokia support
site for more information on this).
5.2 LCP PHASE
What happens Possible problems and solutions
The Nokia A032 and the ISP agree to use PPP
and negotiate the various options that might be
available to improve efficiency. This phase of
negotiation uses Link Configuration Protocol
(LCP).
Looking in the PPP Log (see the printed Nokia
A032 Wireless LAN Access Point User Guide or
the A032_User_Guide.pdf file) you should see
entries labeled ‘LCP’ and identified as configure
request, configure reject and configure NAK.
These entries are normal and part of the bartering
process. However, if the two sides are unable to
agree one will eventually give up and drop the
link.
If you see a long sequence of LCP messages
followed by a hang-up then there is probably
a compatibility problem between the ISP and
the Nokia A032. In this case you should
contact Nokia technical support for advice.
If the PPP Log contains configure requests
but no replies, the ISP either doesn’t support
PPP or needs some special procedure to turn
on PPP. This will generally only be the case
with older ISPs, although it may include some
quite large services. In this case it may be
necessary to use a script to log in and tell the
ISP that you want to use PPP (see Setting a
logon script of the printed Nokia A032
Wireless LAN Access Point User Guide or the
A032_User_Guide.pdf file.
The LCP phase will complete when both sides have sent an LCP configure request to the other and
received an LCP configure ACK in reply.
