Using the Manager Interface to Configure Internet
This chapter describes how to use the Manager interface to configure your Model RT338 ISDN
Router for Internet access.

Information Checklist

Use Menu 4 of the Manager to configure Internet access. Before you configure the router for
Internet access, make sure your ISP (Internet service provider) provides you with the following
information:
• A local phone number for accessing the ISP. A secondary number may be provided for use
when the primary number is busy or not in service.
• A login name
• A password
• IP address(es) unless dynamically assigned
• DNS server address(es) unless dynamically assigned
In addition, you should ask your ISP these questions:
• Is your single IP address fixed (static) or dynamically assigned?
• Is your DNS server address dynamically assigned?
• Does your ISP support the Multilink Protocol?
If you intend to connect both ISDN B channels simultaneously for a 128 kbps connection,
your ISP must support the Multilink Protocol.
