Configuring a Modem Profile for Manual Dial-Up

You can also use the modem to dial your ISP for Internet access without a broadband
connection. If you're traveling with your TELE3 SP, you can create profiles for each ISP
configuration necessary for dial-up Internet access. To configure your modem for manual dial-
up access, follow these steps:
1. Log onto your Management station, and click Modem, then Profiles.
2. Create a name for your profile and enter it in the Name field.
ISP Settings
1. Enter the primary number used to dial up the ISP in the Primary Phone Number field.
Note: If a specific prefix is used to access an outside line, such as 9, enter the number as part
of the phone number.
2. Enter the secondary number used to dial your ISP in the Secondary Phone Number field
(optional).
3. Enter your ISP user name in the User field.
4. Enter your ISP password in the Password field.
5. Confirm your ISP password in the Confirm field.
6. In the IP address section, select Obtain Automatically if you do not have a permanent
IP address from your ISP. If you have a permanent IP address from your ISP, select
Specify and enter the IP address in the IP Address field. Alternatively, you can use your
internal DNS server IP address or a specific DNS server IP address on the Internet.
7. If you obtain an IP address automatically for your DNS Server(s), select Obtain
Automatically. If your dial-up ISP has a specific IP address for the DNS Server(s), select
Specify and enter the IP address in the field.
8. If your dial-up ISP has given you a script that runs when you access your dial-up ISP
connection, cut and paste the script text in the Chat Script field. See the Information
on Chat Scripts section at the end of this chapter for more information on using chat
scripts.
