InterJet does not connect when using 3Com Impact IQ


Problem: The InterJet does not recognize a 3Com Impact IQ ISDN terminal adapter. When trying to connect, the LCD on the InterJet will typically display "no dial tone" or "modem not responding".
Solution: Connect the 3Com Impact IQ terminal adapter directly to a PC and configure the TA with the disks provided by 3Com. To download the latest 3Com Impact IQ drivers, visit the 3Com web site at www.3com.com.

When running the installation utility (SPID wizard), you will need to enter your ISDN numbers. You may need to contact your ISP to obtain them. After you run the configuration, then connect the TA to your InterJet.

Please note that to reconfigure the TA (i.e. for multi-link PPP and 56K toll saver calls), you must once again connect the TA to your PC and run the SPID wizard again. After each change, ensure you check the "update" button before exiting.

Please note this issue will be resolved in the next release of WhistleWare.

InterJet appears to remain connected all the time when using dial on demand


Problem: Customer has dial on demand connection with ISP. Connections are successful, but the InterJet never appears to disconnect.
Solution: Check the "check for incoming mail" settings. Make sure incoming mail time is greater than the "idle time to disconnect" setting. Try a "check for incoming mail" setting of 4 hours as a first approximation.

Also check client machine settings. They may be set to surf at intervals when the browser is active, or an information retrieval program, such as PointCast, may regularly access the an Internet site. These activities will cause the InterJet to remain connected to the Internet.

InterJet does not connect, may report PPP authentication error


Problem: The InterJet returns "PPP authentication error" when attempting to connect using ISDN.
Solution: - Test the ISDN physical layer by connecting an analog (not digital) phone to the ISDN line. A steady click, click, click indicates at least one ISDN channel is active.

- Test each B channel separately with the ISP connection by de-checking the "Use both B channels" box and using one SPID and number at a time.

- Verify the user name and password are correct.

- Go to the System agent's Ports tab. Disable the external serial port and click Apply. Then change the settings back again to re-enable the external port and click Apply again. This will force the InterJet to reconfigure the TA the next time it dials. Try re-booting the InterJet.

ISDN setup requires 2 different telephone numbers


Problem: When using both B channels for ISDN connectivity, an ISP may assign two different phone numbers to achieve multi-link PPP. The InterJet serial port setup includes only one phone number field.
Solution: To use two phone numbers to connect to your ISP, go to the System agent's Ports tab, and edit the external serial port. Enter the first telephone number into the serial port telephone number field, followed by an ampersand (&) and then the second phone number.

InterJet won't recognize BitSurfr ISDN modem


Problem: When connecting a BitSurfr modem to the InterJet, the InterJet responds with a message indicating the BitSurfr does not have the correct firmware.
Solution: The InterJet requires at least revision J of the BitSurfr Pro modem. If the modem has less than rev J, the firmware can be upgraded by downloading new software from Motorola's Internet site. The software can be found at http://www.mot.com.

After upgrading or installing ISDN connections, the customer phone bill is higher than expected


Problem: After upgrading or installing ISDN connections, the customer phone bill is higher than expected, particularly compared to an analog connection.
Solution: Check your InterJet's connection settings to limit connection time.

- Change "Disconnect after x idle time" to its lowest setting, 2 minutes.

- Change "Check for mail" to a longer setting (for example, 30 minutes or 1 hour).

- Change "Process outgoing mail" to a longer setting (for example, 30 minutes).

Check client machines for any automatic browsing software, such as PointCast. Clients with automatic external pop mail checks will also cause regular InterJet connections to the Internet.

The WhistleWare System Agent/Logs information can be used to determine the cause and length of each InterJet connection, and help refine appropriate connection and client settings.

ISDN connection using Centrex unsuccessful


Problem: ISDN connection using Centrex unsuccessful
Solution: Local Centrex connections normally use a phone number such as "#171".

- If the customer has a Centrex connection, contact the Centrex Administrator to verify the appropriate phone number.

- If this short phone number is unsuccessful, test the ISDN setup by using a full phone number, including area code. If the full phone number is successful, the Centrex setup needs to be checked by the telco.

Cannot enter full phone number into ISDN setup fields


Problem: An ISDN setup requires 2 full phone numbers with area code. Version 1.1 will accept 20 digits, and 21 are needed in this instance.
Solution: Upgrade to the latest version of WhistleWare, which does allow 21 digit entry in the ISDN phone number field.
