ISDN dialing parameters

MODEM card. When first powered up, navigating to the Configuration > Network > Interfaces >
ISDN page will show a message indicating that the MODEM card does not have a PPP instance
associated with it. Follow the link on the page and select an unassigned PPP interface to the
MODEM. When the browser is refreshed and the Configuration > Network > Interfaces > ISDN page
redisplayed, it should show the parameters described below, along with a message at the top of the
page indicating which PPP instance has been selected.
