Monitoring the VPN Tunnel (Telecommuter Example)

Viewing the PC Client’s Connection Monitor and Log Viewer

To view information on the progress and status of the VPN client connection, open the DG834
ADSL Modem Router Log Viewer.

1. To launch this function, click on the Windows Start button, then select Programs, then

DG834 ADSL Modem Router, then Log Viewer.

2. The Connection Monitor screen is shown below:

While the connection is being established, the Connection Name field in this menu will show SA
before the name of the connection. When the connection is successful, the SA will change to the
yellow key symbol.

Note: Use the active VPN tunnel information and pings to determine whether a failed

connection is due to the VPN tunnel or some reason outside the VPN tunnel.
