Please see this page regarding assumptions made about this router.

OBJECTIVE:
The screens below will show you how to check the router's connectivity status over the frame relay circuit.

NOTE:
If the "Ready" light on the front of the router does not turn solid green within 5 minutes of the router being turned on and having the frame line plugged in to the LINE 1 port on the back of the router, then there is something wrong with the frame circuit.  Call your telephone company for troubleshooting.  The "Ready" light will turn solid green if it sees frame relay signals on the circuit, regardless of the router being configured or not.

01.  From the MAIN MENU highlight "Statistics & Logs..." and hit the ENTER key.

02.  Select "WAN Event History..." and hit the ENTER key.

03.  The screen above is what the status of the router looks like out of the box, unconfigured and unplugged from the frame circuit.  The most recent entry is at the top of the page.

04.  The screen above is what the status of the router looks like out of the box, unconfigured but the frame line is plugged in to the LINE 1 port on the back of the router.  The most recent entry is at the top of the page.

05.  The screen above is what the status of the router looks like out of the box, configured and the frame line is plugged in to the LINE 1 port on the back of the router.  The most recent entry is at the top of the page.

• The last item on the log above where it shows this particular router "attached to 206.103.33.29" [your IP address will be different of course] is the last entry that appears when the router is connected to the internet. 
• If you don't see the "attached to..." message, there is something wrong with the circuit or configuration.  Call EasyStreet at 503.646.8400 for support.
