Item Description
ISP’s ISDN phone number(s) This is the phone number the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem dials to access the ISP.
Some ISPs will give you two phone numbers—one for each ISDN channel.
Your ISP may also have a backup number for each channel in case the primary
number is busy or unavailable.
User name Name the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem will use to access the ISP.
Password Password the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem will use to access the ISP.
Primary DNS server address
Secondary DNS server address To reach other sites on the Internet you need to use your ISP’s DNS server. In
most cases, the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem will automatically discover the
addresses of these servers. However, if it is unable to do so, you will have to enter
them manually.
Addresses are written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can
range from 0 to 255. For example: 123.123.123.123 or 192.168.1.1
