Configuring the ISDN
LAN Modem
This section describes how to configure the ISDN LAN modem for the typical
configuration. The typical configuration provides the basic set up and it includes
what most users need to get up and running. It provides instructions for setting
up your ISDN line and connecting to the Internet for a static network.
Before You Begin
Before you configure the ISDN LAN modem, you should have already done the
following:
■
Installed the hardware as described in “Installing the ISDN LAN Modem”.
■
Installed and set up TCP/IP up on all computers you intend to connect to the
ISDN LAN modem. If TCP/IP is not installed and set up, refer to “Setting Up
TCP/IP for Windows and Macintosh”.
CAUTION:
You should only have one computer physically connected to the
ISDN LAN modem during configuration. Once you complete the configuration
process, connect any other computers you would like to have on the LAN.
■
Telephone number(s) for your ISDN line provided by your telephone
company.
■
If you want to set up a connection to an ISP, you will also need the
telephone number to call for access to your ISP, as well as your user name,
password and DNS address (if your service provider requires a DNS address to
be configured).
Setting Up Your
Computer
Because your computer has a static IP address, you must verify and possibly
change some settings on your computer before you begin the configuration
procedure. The ISDN LAN modem must be your gateway to get outside of your
LAN and one of your DNS servers. Follow the procedure in the appropriate
section to make sure that this is the case.
