2-8 Netopia ISDN Modem User’s Guide
Decide on a type of ISDN line
An ISDN line can be configured to carr y data only, or both data and
voice.
Choose a phone line
To order an ISDN line, you must either designate an existing
telephone line to be conver ted, or order a new line to be installed.
There will probably be an additional charge if you add a new ISDN
line. However, if you conver t an analog line to an ISDN line, you will
not be able to directly connect analog devices to the ISDN line in
most cases.
Regardless of your choice, make sure there is a wall jack for the line
you choose near where you intend to install your Netopia ISDN
Modem.
Use your ISDN worksheet
The ISDN Worksheet at the end of this chapter (see page 2-18 )
contains sections where you can note impor tant information about
your ISDN account. You may want to photocopy the ISDN Worksheet
and fill in the copy.
Note: The ISDN Worksheet is for your convenience only. You may
receive forms containing similar information from your telephone
company. In any case, the ISDN Worksheet is not an application for
an ISDN line nor a substitute for the forms your telephone company
uses.
Fill in section 1 of the worksheet once you find out exactly who you’ll
order your ISDN line from. Fill in as much of section 2 as you can
before calling your telephone company. The information in section 3
can only be filled in after you order your ISDN line.
