For those unable to use the Window setup program, this Chapter explains the Web-based configuration system.
The ISDN Internet Router incorporates a Web-based setup facility, providing a cross-platform method of configuration. Any Web browser on any operating system using the TCP/IP network protocol can be used.
However, use of the ISDN Internet Router's advanced features requires use of the Windows utility.
1. Check the LAN:
2. Check your TCP/IP settings (Windows 95):
The default settings for Windows 98 or later are correct.
For Windows 95, check your TCP/IP settings as follows:

IP Address
from ISP |
Dynamic is the most common; an IP Address is assigned when you
connect.
If Fixed, enter the IP address assigned by your ISP. |

|
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
Where 555-555-1234 is the phone number, and 0101 is the device ID. However, there is wide variation in SPID formats, and you must use the

DHCP Server
|
If Enabled (default), the ISDN Internet Router will provide the IP
Address and related data when requested by DHCP Clients. (See PC Setup
for details on configuring your PCs as DHCP clients.)
If necessary, change the Start IP Address and Finish IP
Address to suit your LAN.
These settings also determine how many DHCP clients can be handled. |

tab. The other entries are optional.
If desired, provide additional DNS entries. If multiple entries are
provided, the first available DNS Server will be used.
