52 CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE 56K LAN MODEM

If you cannot access a Web site and your computer has a static IP address, refer to

“Conﬁguring a Static IP Address on the 56K LAN Modem”. If you experience any

other problems, refer to Chapter 7, “Placing, Receiving and Disconnecting Calls”.

You will be connected to the LAN Modem Web site. This veriﬁes the correct

conﬁguration of your ISP connection.

From here, you can read any new, up-to-date information, register your product,

or perform ﬁrmware upgrades as they become available. If you have installed the

Custom Browser from the 3Com Companion Programs CD-ROM, access this page

at any time by clicking the Updates button from your browser’s Links menu bar.

Otherwise, the latest information can be accessed directly at

http://www.remoteaccess.3com.com/support/docs/lanmodem/

welcome.html.

This conﬁguration covers the typical parameters needed to connect to your ISP.

There are additional parameters for this ISP connection which have been set to a

typical default. These parameters include Domain Name, Compression, NAT, and

WAN Link IP Address. In addition, you can enter a second telephone for

connection to your ISP. For information on these parameters and instructions for

changing their default values, refer to “Editing Service Provider Proﬁles.”

To return to the LAN Modem’s main conﬁguration page, enter the following

address in your Web browser’s address window: http://lanmodem. Alternatively, if

you are using the Custom Browser, clicking the Conﬁgure Modem link takes you

directly to this main page.

The connection established as a result of the ISP Wizard will automatically

disconnect after ﬁfteen minutes of inactivity, by default.

To learn more about your LAN Modem’s main page, or to conﬁgure additional

parameters, go on to “56K LAN Modem Main Page”. Otherwise, go on to

Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting and Maintenance”.
