DOS Test Command
(type at the DOS prompt
for your computer)
Ping IP address of default
gateway (available from
your LAN administrator)
For example, ping
192.20.239.1
• Ping IP address of known
machine outside the local
default gateway (can use
remote IP trunk
application or any
machine)
• Use traceroute to
determine which
intermediate gateway is
malfunctioning
For example, tracert
192.20.239.1
Reasons for Failure
• IP address typed
incorrectly
• LAN cable not plugged
into network card
• Wrong gateway (default
gateway on different
subnet)
• Gateway machine is down
• Gateway machine error
• Intermediate gateway
machine errors

Maintaining the performance of the IP trunk server
Follow these guidelines to maintain optimal performance on your IP trunk server.
• Check that the server has at least 64 MB of RAM installed.
• Check that the C drive has the following virtual memory allocation:
• Initial Size (MB): 50
• Maximum Size (MB): 750
• Check that the performance boost for the foreground application is set to “None.”
• Check that any applications that consume lots of CPU cycles and are not needed
to run the server, such as screen saver utilities, are not running on the server.
• Check that CDR and/or trace files are not consuming all of the disk space.
• Is there little or no space available on the C drive? In Configuration Manager,
Service Logs tab, check that the ”free disk space” threshold parameter is set
correctly (that is, to a value other than zero).
