Remote network is

LAN or WAN
connection problem, or
a general configuration
problem.
See
, and
“General Network Connection
Problems”
.
Bridging is not enabled
over both the LAN and
the WAN.
Check the Local Site > Bridge and
Remote Site > Modify screens and
ensure that bridging is turned on
over both interfaces and that the
remote site is enabled.
The IP network is not
responding because the
OfficeConnect Remote
840 is trying to route IP
packets, instead of
bridging them.
Check the Global > IP > IP Settings
screen and ensure that IP
Forwarding is disabled.
The IP network is not
responding because the
LAN IP addresses are
assigned on a different
network than the
remote address.
When bridging IP, the local
network becomes part of the
remote network and must be
assigned addresses on the same
network or sub-net.
