Chapter 8 • Configuring the HN router for VADB backup

1037753-0001 Revision A

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.
