client computer connected to it (and properly configured)
attempts to access the Internet. This can happen when a client
computer accesses a Web site, checks email, accesses an FTP
site, or runs a program that attempts to access the Internet
(such as RealNetworks™ RealPlayer™).
Once the Magnia SG20 connects to the Internet using a
dial-up service, it will typically remain connected for 20
minutes after the last Internet access. If you wish to
disconnect the phone sooner than this, you can do so
manually. For more information, see
“Hanging up or
disabling the modem or ISDN adapter” on page 102 .
Configuring for cable-based Internet service
As digital cable service becomes more widely available,
Internet access using a cable modem is becoming
increasingly widespread. This method can provide always
connected and extremely fast (broadband) access to the
Internet. You can connect the Magnia SG20 to a cable
modem using its public Ethernet port. When configuring your
Magnia SG20 for a cable-based Internet connection, you will
need information such as:
❖ Whether your ISP (cable company) has provided a
specific IP address (static IP), or whether your Magnia
SG20 will obtain a new IP address each time it connects
(DHCP).
If you don’t know, use DHCP or call your ISP.
❖ If your ISP has given you a static IP, you will also need
the following information:
❖ IP address
❖ Subnet mask
❖ Primary DNS Server
❖ Secondary DNS Server (optional)
❖ Default gateway (optional)
