Reference Guide for the Model RT210/RT211 ISDN Routers
3-6 Configuring the Router
8. Enter Y when you are asked if you want to use PPP.
Use PPP unless you are only calling other NETGEAR routers.
9. Enter the phone number your router is calling when you are asked to enter the remote
ISDN number to dial.
If you are a North American user, precede the number with a 1 if necessary for your dialing
system and include the area code. Do not use any spaces or dashes (for example,
18005551212). If the connection is on a 56 KBps line, precede the number with the # symbol.
10. Enter the account password provided by your Internet service provider or system
administrator when you are asked to enter the password/secret/key.
11. Enter Y when you are asked whether the line is standard National ISDN, if the switch
you are connected to is configured for National ISDN protocol.
If you are a North American user, your local telephone company must tell you the type of
switch you are connecting to and whether the switch is configured for National ISDN or for a
custom protocol.
Enter N if the line is not a National ISDN line or if the switch is configured for a custom
protocol.
You are given a list of possible switch types to select from. If you choose AT&T point-to-point
switch configuration, you are finished at this point. Go to step 15.
12. Enter the number of the ISDN phone numbers to be supported.
13. Enter the one or more ISDN phone numbers that you have been given by your local
telephone company.
It is not necessary to include the area code.
14. Enter the SPID number for each directory number.
For each number you were given, you are prompted to enter both the directory number and the
SPID.
After entering the last SPID number, you receive a message that the Quick Setup is complete
and the router is ready for use. The LED on the router turns red, and then blinks green to show
the router is attempting to dial.
15. Enter SAVE when the router LED returns to a steady green light.
This saves the configuration.
