Internet Access Configuration
You can configure the router for access to an Internet service provider (ISP) using Menu 4, Internet Access Setup. When you complete this menu, the router will automatically add a Remote Node for your ISP in Menu 11, using typical ISP configuration parameters in addition to those you have specified in Menu 4. The router will also create a default static route for the ISP in Menu 12. After completing Menu 4, you may go to Menus 11 and 12 and make modifications to any of the
parameters. However, if you return to Menu 4, make changes, and then save them, the
To configure your router for Internet access:
1.Enter 4 from the Main Menu to display Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup.
2.Enter the name of your ISP in the ISPs Name field (for example, mysip). This information is for identification purposes only.
3.Enter the IP Address of the remote gateway at the point of presence (POP) of the ISP in the ISP IP Addr field (optional).
If you do not have this data, you can leave it blank.
4.Enter a primary phone number and a secondary phone number in the Pri(mary) Phone
# and Sec(ondary) Phone Number fields.
Both the primary and the secondary phone number refer to the number that the router dials to connect to the ISP. The router calls your ISP using the primary phone number first. If the primary phone number is busy or does not answer, the router calls the secondary phone
number if available. The secondary number is not necessarily the number your router will dial
to add additional bandwidth for a Multilink call. If the called router supports BACP, that router will provide the dial number for a second call.
Note: In North America, you should enter the full long distance number (1 + area code), even if it is a local call. Otherwise, in some areas, the call is placed as a 56K call.
5.Enter your login name in the My Login Name field. Enter the login name given to you by your ISP.
