Note:
The supplied Windows utility provides a quick and easy way to make your Level One ISDN Router operational. Normally, only 1 screen (Quick Setup) must be configured to make the Level One ISDN Router operational.
Other setup is required only for the following situations:
Requirements
Procedure
Figure 1: IP Address
The screen will display suggested values, rather than current values.
Change the suggested values only if you know they will not work (for example, the IP Address is already allocated to a PC which is powered off).
Otherwise, click "OK" to continue.
Figure 2: Password Dialog
Enter the password you assigned to the Level One ISDN Router.
The Quick Setup tab is displayed by default. You will see a screen like the example below.
Figure 3: Quick Setup Screen
Internet Account Details (from ISP) | |
Account (User) Name |
Enter the account name provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). This name will be used to log in to the ISP's server. |
Account Password |
Enter the current password for the above account. |
Verify Password |
Re-enter the password to ensure it is correct. |
IP Address provided by ISP |
Enter the IP address assigned to you by your ISP. If the ISP issues dynamic IP addresses, leave this field as 0.0.0.0. (With dynamic IP addresses, a valid address is provided upon connection.) |
Idle Time-out | If the ISDN link to the Internet has been inactive for longer than this period, the connection will be terminated. |
DNS IP Address |
The DNS (Domain Name Server) translates names (e.g. microsoft.com) to IP Addresses. |
Telephone |
Enter the telephone number used to connect to your ISP. |
Telephone
(2) & (3) |
Optional. |
ISDN Details (from Telephone Company) | |
Country |
Select your country from the drop-down list. Note that there are 5 entries for the USA. If in the USA, select the entry to match the "Switch Type" used by your telephone company. |
SPID (1st B Channel) |
If you live in the USA, enter the SPID (Service Profile Identifier) provided by your phone company. The most common format for the SPID is 10 digits (area code + local number) for the phone number, followed by 4 digits for the device ID. e.g. 555-555-1234-0101 However, there is wide variation in SPID formats, and you must use the method advised by your phone company. If your telephone company did not provide this information, leave this blank. |
SPID (2nd B Channel) |
Enter the SPID for the 2nd B Channel. (See above) |
LAN Settings
The TCP/IP settings displayed on the screen are read-only.
Except in the following circumstances, no other configuration is required.
If your LAN already has some devices using fixed IP Addresses, you need to set the IP Address range used by the DHCP Server to be compatible. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN Tab of the Manager utility.
The Routing feature can be completely ignored if you do not have a router in your LAN.
If you DO have a router, it is necessary to configure BOTH the Router and the Routing table in the Level One ISDN Router correctly. See Routing for details.
In rare cases, it may be necessary to change the ISDN settings (B Channel Speed, Initilization string). These settings are on the ISDN Tab screen.
This screen also allows you to:
