Associating Service Providers with Computers on the LAN 65
18 Advanced users can review or make changes to the modem settings associated
with this service provider by clicking the
Modem Settings button. To leave these
values set to their defaults, click Submit. To change these settings, refer to
“Configuring Modem Control Parameters” .
If your service provider requires that you create a connection script, refer to
Chapter 7, “Using a Connection Script” for assistance.
If you would like to configure a connection to another private network, repeat
steps 1 through 17. You may configure up to a total of four remote destinations
.
If you wish to password protect the configuration profile of the 56K LAN Modem,
refer to “Locking and Unlocking the Configuration.”
Associating Service
Providers with
Computers on the LAN
Once you have configured the service providers to which you would like to
connect, they will be associated with all (up to ten) of the computers on your LAN.
You may choose to change these associations if desired. For example, if you would
like only one computer on the LAN to have Internet access, you can associate that
ISP connection with one computer exclusively. This would prevent all other
computers on the LAN from accessing the Internet.
To change the association between service provider connections and a particular
computer on the LAN, do the following.
1 From the 56K LAN Modem main page, click the Workstations image .
The Workstation Selection window appears.
2 From the Workstation drop down list box, select the workstation for which you
would like to change the accessible service providers.
You can modify the associations for your workstation via the following fields:
■
Name: This field contains the name of the selected computer. If you have a
Macintosh computer on your LAN, the name of the Mac computer does not
automatically appear in the Name field. You should enter the name of the Mac
in the Name field.
■
IP Address: This field contains the IP address of the selected computer. You
should not have to make any changes to this field unless you are using static IP
addressing on your LAN (that is, IP addresses which are not dynamically
assigned by the 56K LAN Modem).
■
IP Address Statically Configured on Workstation: Check this box to reserve the
IP address assigned for this particular workstation. This option allows a
statically assigned workstation to coexist on a dynamically assigned LAN.
■
Service Provider Usage: Under Enable the use of the following Service
Providers , you can see the service providers which are accessible from this
computer.
If you have more than one ISP configured, all calls will be routed to the first ISP
listed. To connect to another ISP that you have configured, uncheck the box(es) of
the ISP(s) that you do not wish to use at this time.
