Tunnel Status Messages 
As shown on the preceding page, the initial tunnel status 
message will be seen as “Disabled”. After one ThruLink is set to 
the Server and the other (or more) are set to Client mode, the 
tunnel can be attempted. Pages 8-9 of this manual describe the 
set up process in detail. The following are typical status 
messages that can be shown from the Client side of the tunnel. 

 

STATUS: STARTING. Message shown prior to establishing link 

 
 
 
 
 

 

STATUS: ACTIVE. Upon a link to Server WAN IP 

 
 
 
 
 

 

STATUS: LINK LOST. If the Client loses the link, it will reattempt the 
connection. 

 
 
 
 
 

 

STATUS: INCORRECT SERVER WAN IP.  

 
 
 
 
 

 

STATUS: UNABLE CONTACT. If the Server WAN IP is correct, check 
the port selected to ensure ports are forwarded.
