Ordering An Isdn Line; Setting Up Your Network - NETGEAR RT338 Installation Manual

Preparing the Router
Do the following to prepare your router:
• Order ISDN service from the phone company.
• Configure your PC to use the TCP/IP networking protocol.
• Order Internet service from an Internet service provider (ISP).
The following section provides an overview of the requirements.

Ordering an ISDN Line

Contact the ISDN sales center of the phone company and order an ISDN Basic
Rate Interface (BRI) phone line. In North America, provide the phone company
with an ISDN ordering code (IOC). NETGEAR recommends codes IOC "U" or
EZ-ISDN1 for the Model RT338 router. Additional information about ordering
an ISDN line can be found in the Model RT338 ISDN Router Installation Guide.
When the ISDN line is installed, make sure you have the following information:
• ISDN directory number(s)
• Service profile identifier numbers (SPIDs) (North America only)
• Switch type and protocol of the switch (such as National ISDN NI-1) used
at the telephone company (North America only)
Order any additional ISDN or phone service at this time.

Setting up Your Network

The Model RT338 router uses the Internet Protocol (IP). To access the Internet
using the Model RT338 router, all PCs must have TCP/IP installed and selected
as their networking protocol. TCP/IP is built into Windows® 95, Windows 98,
and Windows NT® but must be enabled and configured. Refer to "Configuring
TCP/IP Properties" for instructions to install IP networking.
In an IP network, all PCs must be assigned IP addresses. Most LANs use private
IP addresses. These addresses are assigned automatically by the Model RT338
router whenever a PC reboots. Refer to "Using Private IP Addresses" for
instructions to use private IP addressing.
All PCs must also have other IP configuration information, including a subnet
mask, a domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. This
information is also assigned automatically by the Model RT338 router whenever
a PC reboots. For more information about these parameters, refer to the Model
RT338 ISDN Router Installation Guide.
