You can connect up to four computers to the BT Inspiration Adv. These computers 
require an Ethernet network interface card and TCP/IP, both installed and configured like the 
first computer you connected. Do not, however, install Modem Monitor on these machines.

Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to an ETHERNET port on the 

BT Inspiration Adv. It does not matter which port a computer is connected to. 
All ETHERNET ports are the same.

3. Turn on the computer.

If you need to connect more than four computers, you can connect the BT Inspiration 
Adv to a third-party Ethernet hub. Refer to the User's Guide on the CD-ROM 
for more information.

Beige Cable: 

Do not connect 
the beige cable.
It is for advanced 
configuration 
options only.

The Ethernet lights provide instant feedback on whether or not your computers are properly connected to the BT Inspiration 
Adv. The states of the B1, B2, D and LINK lights however, should only be examined after you have configured the device.

Ethernet Port Status

When lit, these lights indicate 
that an Ethernet device is 
properly connected to ports 
E1, E2, E3, or E4. These 
lights flash when data is sent 
or received on the Ethernet 
LAN. Light E4/C will blink red 
if a transmission collision 
occurs. This is a normal 
occurrence that will 
automatically resolve itself.

ISDN D-channel Status

D comes on at the same time as LINK 
to indicate a properly configured line. 
However, when the line is idle, many 
networks automatically disconnect the 
D-channel (turning off both D and 
LINK) to conserve power. Both lights 
will turn on just before B1 and/or B2 
light up when the BT Inspiration 
Adv makes or receives a call.

A flashing D-light indicates that AO/DI 
is enabled, but that the BT Inspiration 
Adv cannot establish the X.25 
data link layer on the D-channel.

Should be off.

Should be on

.

ISDN B-channels Status

Once the BT Inspiration 
Adv is configured, 
these lights show the status 
of the two ISDN channels, 
called B1 and B2. 

Green means a data call. 
A flashing light means the 
call is being established. 
A steady light means the 
call is connected and the 
channel is in use.

ISDN Link Status

The LINK light will flash 
for a few seconds and 
then go off when the 
ISDN line is not plugged 
in. See the D light for 
more information.
