If you are using an E1 connection, ask your E1 service

 

 

provider for the framing format, line encoding, data type,

 

 

line build-out, rate multiplier, and line speed. Record this

 

 

information on page 33.

 

 

 

 

Connect-Time

Some ISPs and local telephone companies charge a flat

 

Charges

fee for unlimited connect time, and some charge fees

 

 

according to the actual amount of time your Instant

 

 

Internet unit is dialed in and connected. Be sure that you

 

 

understand your ISP’s and local telephone company’s

 

 

policies.

 

 

 

 

PPPoE

If you are connecting using PPPoE, you must obtain a

 

 

User Name and Password from your ISP. Record this

 

 

information on page 33.

 

 

 

 

Installation

If you choose an ISP from the Nortel Networks list, you

 

Information

need to give only the ISP’s telephone number and your

 

 

user name and password for access.

 

 

If you are using an analog or ISDN connection, you can

 

 

choose ! Default as your provider when you

 

 

configure the unit and then enter your name servers.

 

 

If your ISP is not on the Nortel Networks list, call the

 

 

Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center at

 

 

800-2LANWAN, Express Routing Code 169#, and

 

 

provide some additional information so that Nortel

 

 

Networks can create a dial-up script specific to your ISP’s

 

 

access requirements.

 

 

 

 

Application

Your ISP usually offers some additional services, which

 

Information

you might consider:

 

 

• Access to a NEWS server

 

 

• Access to a Post Office Protocol (POP) mail server

 

 

(and a Simple Mail Transfer protocol (SMTP) relay)

 

 

• Individual POP mail user accounts for each user

 

 

NOTE: Be aware that a single-user account from an ISP

 

 

generally comes with only one POP e-mail account. You

 

 

can arrange for additional e-mail accounts with your ISP.

 

 

 

After completing this checklist, you are ready to begin installing the Instant Internet hardware.
