Configuring the HN router for VADB
backup
This chapter explains how to configure the HN router for Virtual
Private Network Automatic Dial Backup (VADB) operation. The
following topics are discussed:
The VADB feature provides a phone-line backup capability to the
HN router in case the DSL line fails or degrades below an
acceptable threshold.
VADB overview
The HN router contains an internal modem to support VADB
functionality. The HN router connects to a national network of
dial access numbers, which are known as a Point of Presence
(POP). Each POP acts as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) entry
point into the customer’s network or the Internet. The HN router
sends packets through the POP to the Network Operations Center
(NOC), which forwards the packets to the destination server.
VADB automatically switches the HN router to a terrestrial
dialup telephone network with minimal interruption and loss of
customer traffic. VADB introduces no additional load on the HN
router and does not affect any existing HN router features, but it
does cause the HN router to send and receive traffic at a slower
rate.
Chapter 8 • Configuring the HN router for VADB backup
1037753-0001 Revision A
57
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
The following requirements must be fulfilled before VADB can
be used:
Requirements for VADB
• The HN router must be configured for VADB operation
before the system is installed and commissioned.
Note: The HN router can be upgraded to support VADB
operation after it is installed.
• The site must have an analog telephone line to support VADB
operation. A dedicated telephone line is preferred but not
required. The HN router can share the telephone line with
other devices when it is connected to a splitter.
The following tasks must be completed for VADB to work
properly:
• Before testing VADB functionality, you must use a phone
handset to dial the VADB access phone number. For details,
• The telephone cable must be plugged into the TEL LINE port
on the HN router and a telephone jack or splitter. (In some
countries, a converter may be required to connect the cable to
the phone jack.)
Installing VADB consists of the following tasks:
Installing VADB
• Verifying that the VADB profile is loaded
• Testing the telephone line
• Testing VADB functionality
Before beginning the installation, check the telephone line local
dialing rules. If it does not match the sequence in the installation
specification, or as shown in the Advanced Pages, (see VADB
Chapter 8 • Configuring the HN router for VADB backup
1037753-0001 Revision A
58
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
The VADB profile is a downloaded configuration file that sets up
the HN router to support VADB. After the HN router is installed
and commissioned, follow these steps to verify that the VADB
profile is loaded:
Verifying that the VADB
profile is loaded
1. Access the Advanced Configuration and Statistics pages
192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.htmlin the
browser address bar and pressing ENTER.
2. From the Advanced Menu, VADB section, click Config Show

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
Follow these steps to test the telephone line to which the HN
router will be connected:
Testing the telephone line
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.

The HN router contains an internal modem; therefore, it is not
necessary to connect an external modem to enable VADB
functionality.
Connecting the HN router
to the telephone line
To connect the HN router to a telephone line, refer to Figure 53
and follow these steps:
1. Connect one end of the modem cable to the TEL LINE port
on the HN router.
2. Connect the other end of the modem cable to a telephone jack
or to a splitter if other devices share the telephone line. (In
some countries, a converter may be required to connect the
cable to the phone jack.)
3. If you use a splitter, connect the splitter to a telephone jack
(with a converter, if required).

Some countries may require that a protection module is installed
between the HN router router and the public switched telephone
network (PSTN) telephone line.
Optional protection module
The protection module is a high-speed electronic circuit protector
that provides both over-voltage and over-current protection. The
module includes a short telephone cable that connects to the
telephone line port on the HN router and a grounding cable with a
ring terminal that connects to the HN router backplane, as shown

adopted by the ACTA. A compliant 26 Gauge telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this product. It is required to be
terminated with a plug type 605 or a FCC plug type 6 position for

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger UL
Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord.
This section applies to the HN7700S only.
Ringer equivalence number
(REN)
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be
connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone
line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should
not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the local Telephone Company. For products approved
after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product
identifier that has the format US:5L4DT##B1032021.
The digits represented by the ## are the REN without the decimal
point (e.g., 00 is a REN of 0.0). For earlier products, the REN is
separately shown on the label.
This section applies to the HN7700S only.
Discontinuance of service
If the Two-Way Hughes System causes harm to the telephone
network, the Telephone Company will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if
advance notice isn’t practical, the Telephone Company will notify
the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of
your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is
necessary.
If phone service is discontinued and you believe it is due to the
HN7700S terminal, please contact Hughes Customer Care or
your service provider.
