Getting Started Using FirstGear for the Model XM128S ISDN Digital Modem

Configuring Dial-Up Networking for Two B Channels

To configure your Model XM128S modem for use with two B channels using Multilingual PPP:

1.Double-click on the My Computer icon.

2.Double-click on the Dial-Up Networking folder.

3.Double-click on the Make New Connection icon from within the Dial-Up Networking folder.

4.Choose a name for your connection and select XM128 from the drop-down menu.

5.Select Netgear XM128, Internet PPP 128K.

6.Click on Next.

The Make New Connection screen, as illustrated in Figure 3-10 on page 3-12, opens.

7.Type the phone number(s) of the ISP or host you will be calling.

Some ISPs require only one phone number to make a multiple-link connection.

If your ISP requires you to dial a different number (one for each B channel), separate the two numbers with a plus (+) sign. Otherwise, enter the number as normal

(for example: 5551111+5552222).

8.Click on Next.

9.Click on Finish.

A new icon is created in the Dial-Up Networking folder.

10.Click your right mouse button on the new icon.

11.Select Properties from the pop-up menu.

The My Connection screen, as illustrated in Figure 3-11 on page 3-13, opens.

Make sure the Use country code and area code field is not checked off. If this field is checked, Windows 95 removes the plus sign (+) from the phone number when you close the window, which causes failed connections in the future.

Make sure that “Netgear XM128, Internet PPP 128K” appears in the Connect using box. If settings have been given to you by your ISP, follow those guidelines and go to step 20 on page 3-15.

If settings have not been given to you by your ISP, go to step 13 on page 3-14.

Either choice completes the configuration of Dial-Up Networking for Windows 95 using two B channels.
