1. Go to Configuration > Network > Interfaces > PSTN.
2. When the router is first powered up, this page shows a message indicating that the MODEM
card does not have a PPP instance associated with it. Follow the link on the page and select an
unassigned PPP interface to the MODEM.
3. Refresh your browser and go to Configuration > Network > Interfaces > PSTN. The page
should show the following parameters, along with a message at the top of the page indicating
the selected PPP instance. Configure these parameters as needed:
This PSTN interface is using PPP n
Which PPP instance has been assigned to the interface.
Description
A memorable name for the PSTN interface. This may be useful when referring to the interface,
rather than having to remember the name and the function of the interface.
Dial out using numbers
The telephone numbers to make an outgoing connection, in sequence.
Prefix n to the dial out number
The dialing prefix to use, if needed. This may be necessary when using a PABX.
Username
The username to use when using the PPP instance to connect to the remote peer. This is
normally provided by an ISP for use with a dial-in Internet access service.
Password
The password to use for authenticating the remote pee, along with the above username.
Confirm password
Type the password into this text box to enable the router to confirm that the password was
entered identically in both boxes.
Allow the remote device to assign a local IP address to this router
When selected, the remote peer assigns this PPP interface an IP address.
Try to negotiate a.b.c.d as the local IP address for this router
If it is useful essential to have a predefined IP address for the interface, select the second radio
button and enter the desired IP address into the text box to the right. This field is optional.
