Using a computer with ISDN
Before connecting
The ISDN interface on the EXPLORER 700 comprises two connectors and supports connection of up
to 8 devices simultaneously. However, the Core network presently only supports one 64 kbps ISDN
channel per subscription.
To connect to the ISDN interface, use an ISDN cable with an ISDN connector. For specifications,
refer to ISDN interface, 2-port on page 178.
Connecting a computer to the ISDN interface
This section does not describe configuration of the ISDN interface. For information on
configuration, see Configuring the ISDN interface on page 132.
To connect to the ISDN interface, do as follows:
1.
Connect your computer to your ISDN modem.
2.
Connect the ISDN cable between
your ISDN modem and one of the
ISDN connectors on the
EXPLORER 700.
3.
Power up the EXPLORER 700 and point the antenna as described in Getting started on
page 13.
4.
On your computer, activate your dial-up connection.
5.
Check the connection, e.g. by starting your Internet Browser.
If connection fails, check that the interface is enabled in the EXPLORER 700. If the ISDN icon is not
present in the display Main screen and in the Dashboard in the web interface, the interface is
disabled. See Enabling or disabling an interface on page 54.
If connection still fails, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 161.
Important
The ISDN interface and the LAN interface use the same connector type. Be
careful not to connect to the wrong interface.
