In addition, you should have the following information ready as you go through the configuration:

Your Analog Telephone Number or Numbers

ISP Telephone Number

ISP User ID and Password

ISP DNS Address (required only if your ISP does not use dynamic IP addressing)

(Optional) Call Waiting Disable Command (your telephone company can provide you with this value)

Configuration Steps The following steps guide you through configuration of the Dual 56K LAN Modem for shared Internet access.

If you ran the computer pre-checks in Chapter 3 and found that your computer was set up for static IP addressing, and you chose to follow the manual setup procedure for Static IP addressing, (as opposed to using the EZ-LAN Wizard, as described in the Getting Started Guide) refer to the section “Changing the LAN Modem IP Address for Static IP Users” on page 52 once you have completed these initial configuration steps.
