PPP
VersaLink has established a PPP connection.
There is no PPP connection. A PPP session must be connected from the
homepage screen.
The PPP connection process has been initialized.
A successful PPP connection was halted. Solution: A PPP session must be
connected from the homepage screen.
Explanation: A PPP connection could not be made because of a PPPoE session
failure.
The username or password is incorrect. Verify that the username and password
your Service Provider issued are entered correctly.
Try re-establishing the session (from the home page). If this doesn't help, there
may be a configuration issue or other failure with your provider's equipment.
Contact your service provider.
Self Test
VersaLink is operating correctly.
Explanation: The self-test process has detected a problem with internal flash
memory.
Solution: Restart VersaLink. If the error persists, contact your service provider.
PING ISP's VersaLink
VersaLink has detected an IP remote VersaLink connection.
Explanation: This message will occur when an IP remote VersaLink does not
answer the IP Ping.
Solution: This test fails when the provider's VersaLink does not give its IP
address to VersaLink during session establishment. Try Pinging another host,
using the Ping test near the bottom of the Diagnostic screen. If you are able to
Ping any host, or even if you are able to find an IP address for a given host name
(try "www.yahoo.com"), then the failure of the "IP Remote VersaLink" test is
moot, because the success of the Ping demonstrates that you are getting IP
traffic across the DSL line. If the separate Ping fails as well, contact your
service provider.
Explanation: Test could not be executed because of VersaLink status.
