Configuration using a PC 4-9
Entering the switch type and SPID parameters
In most cases, ISDN Assistant will enter the information required to
connect to your Netopia ISDN Modem. However, if ISDN Assistant
doesn’t configure your ISDN modem correctly or if you want to enter
information yourself, you can follow the instructions below to enter
configuration information directly into the configuration dialog box.
1. Select the type of switch, as specified by your telephone com-
pany, from the Telephone Company Switch drop-down list.
2. Click in the Telephone Number field in the Number 1 area and
enter the first telephone (or “director y”) number of your ISDN
line.
3. Click in the Ser vice Profile Identifier (SPID) field and enter the
corresponding SPID for the telephone number you entered in
the previous step. You should have also received the SPID from
your telephone company. Note that this field scrolls to allow you
to enter as much information as necessar y.
4. If you have a second telephone number associated with your
ISDN telephone line (some telephone companies require two),
check the Enabled box and enter the number and
corresponding SPID in the appropriate fields in the Number 2
area.
5. Click the Update button to download the parameters listed in
steps
1 through 4 to your ISDN modem.
6. Check the status area to verify the configuration. If the
parameters were configured accurately and the ISDN modem is
ready to send and receive calls, the status area fields should
contain the information shown in the
“Steps 13 to 14:
Completing the configuration” section on page 4-8 .
7. Click Exit to leave the utility.
If the parameters match those of the telephone company’s ISDN
switch, the D channel LED lights up for a few minutes, flashes for
several seconds, and then turns off. If the LED continues to flash or
remains lit, see
