Master Cannot Connect to Slave
In a dial backup application, if the master side cannot make the connection to the
slave side, do the following:
1. Make sure the configuration file is correct.
2. If the connection is V.25bis, check the log for the CRN.
3. Try reversing the master and slave.
4. Make sure that you enabled BOFL on the primary link.
If you can establish this connection, recheck the configuration of the modem and
router.
Troubleshooting RS232 Raise DTR Dial (Unbalanced)
If DTR is up on the backup circuit (the master end), causing the backup modem to
dial even though the primary line is up, do the following:
1. Verify whether the modem is sending a DSR (data set ready) signal to the
router interface in the on state (positive voltage) when the local and
remote modems are not connected.
If it is, configure the modem for DSR to follow CD (Carrier Detect), or
configure DSR to be in the off state until the modem receives a DTR (data
terminal ready) signal. Unfortunately, DCE manufacturers use inconsistent
terminology for these settings.
When the router detects that DSR is in the on state (that is, receiving positive
voltage), it brings DTR high regardless of the state of the primary line. This in
turn causes the modem to dial. If the router does not see any DSR (0 voltage),
the router will also bring DTR high. This in turn causes the modem to dial.
