BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This Getting Started Guide is designed to cover the most common application of the Dual 56K LAN Modem — configuration for shared Internet access on a dynamic IP network. For all other applications, refer to the User Guide, located on the OfficeConnect Dual 56K Companion CD-ROM.

To set up a LAN for shared access to the Internet, you must have the following:

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) Account

A Computer with Ethernet connectivity, TCP/IP software,* and a CD-ROM drive

A Web Browser, such as Netscape Navigator (4.0 or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0 or later), installed on your computer

*TCP/IP is automatically included with Windows 95, 98, NT, and 2000 and is built in with Mac OS 7.6 or later.

STEP 1. INSTALLING THE LAN MODEM

To install the Dual 56K LAN Modem:

1Turn off your computer.

CAUTION: You should only connect one computer to the LAN Modem for the initial setup. After installing and configuring, you can connect additional computers to the unit. Do not connect the Dual 56K LAN Modem to an existing LAN until after you have completed the configuration.

2Connect your computer to LAN port 1, using the supplied Ethernet cable.

3Connect the analog cables to the LINE 1 and LINE 2 ports, and plug the opposite ends into available wall jacks.

You may have to use country-specific phone port adapters.

If you are only using one line, use the LINE 1 port.
