Table 1	Installation checklist
✔	Item	Description
	Type of Account	Instant Internet can provide access to your entire network
		through a single Internet Protocol (IP) address for
		unlimited access to the Internet:
		• If you want to use public IP addresses, request a
		network account.
		• If you want to use Network Address Translation (NAT)
		or you are using the Instant Internet unit as an
		IPX-to-IP gateway, request a single-user account.
		Your ISP will provide you with a user name, password,
		primary access phone number, optional alternate access
		phone number, and name server IP address. Record this
		information on page 29.
	Dial-up Protocols	If you are using a dial-up connection in North America,
		ensure that your ISP supplies true IP service using PPP
		protocols for analog and ISDN connections. ISDN
		requires the synchronous PPP protocol with
		authentication via Password Authentication Protocol
		(PAP) or Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
		(CHAP).
		For a 128K connection, Multilink PPP must be supported.
		Some ISPs use their own proprietary protocols or, for
		ISDN, V.120 rate adaption. Instant Internet does not
		support these proprietary protocols.
	ISDN Service	When you obtain ISDN service, your telephone company
		may assign one or two Service Profile Identifier (SPID)
		numbers to your line. Record the SPID number(s) on
		page 29.
	Leased-Line	Leased-line (T1, DDS, V.35, or X.21) connections require
	Connection	synchronous PPP or frame relay. The Instant Internet 400
		unit supports 1 PVC for frame relay.
	T1 Connection	If you are using a T1 connection, ask your T1 service
		provider for the framing format, line encoding, data type,
		line build-out, rate multiplier, and line speed. Record this
		information on page 29.
