If the test is unsuccessful, verify that you have entered all the T1 line parameters correctly

Testing the WAN connection
To test the WAN connection either Ping a remote unit or establish a telnet session with it, over
a dial-up connection. The procedure assumes that:
•
You can run Telnet or Ping from a host or workstation on the same LAN segment as MAX.
•
There is a remote unit (MAX-compatible) to which you can route data packets over a
dial-up link.
Note:
The remote unit should be configured for the route back to your MAX. Otherwise, you
might bring up the connection and send packets but fail to receive anything back.
