6.3.5.1.6 TESTING THE CONNECTION
Click Connection Test in the general information banner or the Test button in the Selecting
the Active Connection Profile area. The connection test runs all the stages involved in
connecting to an ISP, and gives the causes and related solutions to solve the problem if the
connection fails. The following tests are run in sequence:
- Initial state test: the system checks that the active ISP is in "Enabled" mode and that the
connection can be established in the set time ranges.
- Call to the ISP's telephone number, or ping to the DSL modem/Cable modem or router.
- Authentication check: the system tests the authentication of the login and password in
accordance with the protocol supported by the ISP (PAP/CHAP). This verification is
performed during a connection using ISDN or DSL modem/Cable modem.
- IP address negotiation: the system sends back the IP addresses of Alcatel-Lucent
OmniPCX Office Communication Server, and of the router on the IAP's premises. This
negotiation is tested during an ISDN and DSL Modem/Cable Modem type connection.
