4-2 Configuration for Internet Access
Internet Access Configuration
You can configure the router for access to an Internet service provider (ISP) using Menu 4, Internet
Access Setup. When you complete this menu, the router will automatically add a Remote Node for
your ISP in Menu 11, using typical ISP configuration parameters in addition to those you have
specified in Menu 4. The router will also create a default static route for the ISP in Menu 12. After
completing Menu 4, you may go to Menus 11 and 12 and make modifications to any of the
parameters. However, if you return to Menu 4, make changes, and then save them, the ISP-related
entries in Menus 11 and 12 will once again be programmed to typical ISP configuration
parameters, possibly reversing any changes you have made to those menus.
To configure your router for Internet access:
1. Enter 4 from the Main Menu to display Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup.
2. Enter the name of your ISP in the ISPs Name field (for example, MyISP).
This information is for identification purposes only.
3. Enter the IP Address of the remote router at the point of presence (POP) of the ISP in the
ISP Gateway IP Addr field (optional).
If you do not have this data, you can leave it blank.
4. Enter a primary phone number and a secondary phone number in the Pri(mary) Phone
# and Sec(ondary) Phone # fields.
Both the primary and the secondary phone number refer to the number that the router dials to
connect to the ISP. The router calls your ISP using the primary phone number first. If the
primary phone number is busy or does not answer, the router calls the secondary phone
number if available. In addition to numbers, these fields accept pound sign (#), star (*), and
comma (,). Use a comma to insert a pause (for example, to wait for a second dial tone).
5. Enter your login name in the My Login Name field.
Enter the login name given to you by your ISP.
