6Enter the corresponding Service Profile Identifier (SPID) in the SPID #1 field for the telephone number you entered in the previous step.

You should have received this SPID from your telephone company.

CAUTION: If the ISDN line has been configured with only one telephone number (Point-to-Point), do not include the SPID.

7Specify which device should receive the calls coming to Phone #1.

You can select Phone Port or Internal Fax/Modem. If your model has the internal analog fax modem (Models 3C872 and 3C877), you can select both. The Phone Port and Internal Fax/Modem check boxes associated with Phone #1 appear to the right of Phone #1.

If both boxes are checked, the internal analog fax modem and the phone will both ring, enabling you to answer using either device.

8If you have a second telephone number associated with your ISDN telephone line (some telephone companies require two), enter the number and corresponding SPID in the Phone #2 and SPID #2 fields.

9Specify which device should receive the calls coming to Phone #2.

10Confirm that the parameters listed in steps 5 through 9 are correct.

When these parameters are updated, the information is read back to the screen. Check to see that the values have been correctly entered.
