Appendix B

This guide covers most dial-up or remote access connections that are configured for Dynamic or Static IP addressing. This Guide assumes that you have active and properly functioning analog or ISDN Internet service. If you are uncertain about which type of configuration you have, refer to the User Guide located on the U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM for more advanced setup procedures.

Note: The Wireless Cable/DSL Router requires an external analog or ISDN modem for dial-up functionality. Your analog or ISDN modem must be connected to your computer via an RS-232 serial connection. The Wireless Cable/DSL Router is not compatible with analog or ISDN modems with only a USB connection. You must also have an Ethernet adapter (NIC) or 802.11b Wireless Adapter installed in your computer.

You need to gather the following information about your Dial-up or Remote Access connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Contact your ISP for assistance in obtaining this information.
