Contact the ISDN sales center of the phone company and order an ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) phone line. In North America, provide the phone company with an ISDN ordering code (IOC). NETGEAR recommends codes IOC “U” or EZ-ISDN1 for the Model RT338 router. Additional information about ordering an ISDN line can be found in the Model RT338 ISDN Router Installation Guide.
All PCs must also have other IP configuration information, including a subnet mask, a domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. This information is also assigned automatically by the Model RT338 router whenever a PC reboots. For more information about these parameters, refer to the Model RT338 ISDN Router Installation Guide.
Restart your PC after making these changes.

The Model RT338 router is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server and assigns the TCP/IP configuration.
