Physical layer

This light shows the status of the physical connection to the router.

Green light: the line is functioning correctly.

Red light: the circuit is either open or non-functional.  Check your phone

wiring and call your Network Service provider if you can not get a green

light. This status correlates to the NT1 light on the router.

Hangup

To cause an ISDN channel to drop a data call, click the associated

Hangup button.  This feature is only available when there is a data call

established to a remote router

Note that you can also prevent any future incoming or outgoing data call

from being accepted or generated by clicking the corresponding check

box.

Enable incoming and outgoing data calls

You have the option to allow or disable outgoing data calls or incoming

data calls by checking the appropriate box.  This feature is most useful

for models equipped with analog telephony features as you may want to

receive and place analog calls without incurring the risk of lengthy phone

calls for data (because you are allowing calls to an outbound bridge, for

instance).

Options

The Options menu allows the user to select the IP address or the

monitoring frequency.  It also provides a POTS monitor to look at the

analog port activity or quit the application.  The following describes the

different available options:

Select Router

This option allows you to specify the IP address of the router you want to

monitor.  This setting is preserved in the file ROUTER.INI.  When Port

Monitor is started from Configuration Manager or Quick Start, the IP

address of the router to monitor is the same as the one currently used by

Configuration Manager.

Set Refresh Rate

This option lets you change the update frequency of the Port Monitor and

POTS monitor windows.
