Before You Begin 45
Setting Up Your
Computer If You Have a
Static IP Address
If your computer has a static IP address, you must verify and possibly change some
settings on your computer before you begin the configuration procedure. The
ISDN LAN Modem must be your gateway and one of your DNS servers. Follow the
procedure in the appropriate section to make sure that this is the case. Note that if
your computer has a dynamic IP address, this co nfiguration would occur
automatically and you can go on t o “Configuring the ISDN LAN Modem for the
Typical Configuration.”
These instructions assume that the LAN Modem configuration is set the factory
default. If you are moving the LAN Modem from a different LAN, reset the LAN
Modem before you begin. To do so, connect a telephone to on e the LAN Modem
phone ports and then enter **3266# from t he keypad.
