A leased line is a type of phone service that offers a continuous connection between two sites, typically at data rates of 56 Kbps (USA) or 64 Kbps (Europe). Leased lines are often referred to as DDS lines (digital data service). A non-leased line (switched), such as Switched-56, offers a high-speed dialup connection (typically 56 Kbps).

Page 96 ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL Ethernet Testing Verify that the local node can communicate with the local Router using the ping command. On the local Router, issue the ping command by entering: ping ip_address_of_local_node If the ping command completes and displays a round-trip time, proceed to the Dial Test section. If the ping command displays the message Target did not respond perform the following steps:...
Page 97 Issue the following command from the local Router: ping ip_address of remote_Router The response is: Target did not respond This occurs because the amount of time to required to establish the connection is longer than the timeout of the ping command. After issuing the ping command, you should hear the modem dial and connect with the modem at the remote site.
Page 98 ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL 2. Issue the dialup status command. Verify that the correct phone number for the other site is displayed. To determine if the dialer is configured as required, refer to Section 2.9, dialup, in the Reference Manual, which begins on page 137, for a description of possible dialer modes: demand, demand backoff, inactive, incoming, once, or keepup.
Page 99 3. Determine if you are running RIP on the local and remote Routers. Use the config show command on each Router to see if the start rip and ifconfig iface rip active commands are present in the configuration, or issue the rip status command to determine if any RIP packets have been transmitted or received by the Routers.

Page 101: Unable To Attach To A Remote Netware Server (Modems Only)
Issue the IPX mode command update now. This should cause the modem to dial. If you hear the local Router modem dial but the modems do not connect (use the dialup modemX status command to see if the connection is established), try disconnecting the phone line from the Router, connecting it to a normal phone, and placing the call.

ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL Appendix B: Dialing Scripts When configuring a modem for most applications, the standard dialing sequence procedure is recommended. It is more robust and has better error recovery than scripts. When special handling is required, a simple script language is available for writing custom dialer scripts.

ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL B.2 Dialer Script Procedure A dialer script file is a DOS formatted text file in which each line contains one of the following commands: connect [speed] Instructs the dialer to wait for the modem to make a connection. From the scriptwriter’s perspective, it is equivalent to the command: wait 60000 “CONNECT”...
