Configuration

This chapter describes the procedures for configuring your Model XM128 modem and your ISDN line.

Configuring Your ISDN Line and Network

The setup procedure for the Model XM128 modem needs to be done only once. The settings are stored in the nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) of the modem. Turning power on and off will not erase the information. The only time that you need to reconfigure your line is when you perform a hardware reset on your modem when you change options on your ISDN line.

NETGEAR provides a simple Windows 95 or NT 4.0 utility to help you set up the Model XM128 modem. Refer to Getting Started Using FirstGear for the XM128 ISDN Digital Modem for complete instructions. This chapter explains how to set up your switch using the Windows/ Windows 95 utility that comes with the modem.

If your Model XM128 modem is not going to be set up by a computer running Windows, use a terminal program that allows you to send AT commands to the modem and receive responses from it.

Configuring Your Modem Using a Terminal Program

If you are not running Windows 95 or Windows NT, configure your Model XM128 modem with a terminal program that allows you to send and receive AT commands and responses from the modem.

NETGEAR recommends that you have your Model XM128 modem ready to use before the telephone company installs your ISDN line. If the modem is ready, you can enter the SPID and confirm that the ISDN network is responding properly before the telephone installer leaves.
