Cisco ADSL connection problem

Hi.

Our main router at one of our site was having problems with dropping the ADSL connection on a regular basis so I got onto BT and they ran some tests on the line a said that there was some unkown interferance on the line causing the connection to drop. Around the time of them testing the line the connection totally dropped and has not been connected since. BT came to site and and found that there was a "loose connection in the master socket" and it was damp too - which must have been causing the interferance. They connected their modem and everything was working fine.

We plugged our router back in and nothing! Ive done some investigation and run some commands on the router and it seems the router is unable to see the ADSL on the line - see below.

Can anyone make any suggestions of anything to try? Could there be a problem with the router now?

Cheers

Jon

Hi John,

I have seen this 101 times on BT connections. Normally ends up being a problem with the line, however, all you can do is the normal checks. In no particular order:

1) Do you get dial tone when plugging an analogue phone in to the splitter (micro-filter) following the BT engineers visit 2) Have you changed the splitter - try at least 1 x other 3) Have you changed the RJ11 cable - rare to find these are faulty but I have had it a couple of times 4) Ask the carrier to do a whoosh test on the line to double check what the BT engineer told you 5) Try a second router / WIC card in your existing router if you have one

Appears to be no DSL on the line so I would swap the filter and cable and try this command again

Normally this goes all the way upto 0x26 and then gives you 'showtime' assuming all is OK. When you resolve the issue and get a CD light on on the router you will see this on the above debug.

HTH

Regards

Darren

I have had some issues with 877 in the UK not working on DSL.

Manually setting the dsl operating mode seemed to help as did upgrading the IOS software.

Cisco have free downloads for patched DSL software for 877 if you fancied trying that.
