Chapter 3 - Configuring Your ISDN Line and
Network
You are now ready to set-up your ISDN network. Based on our experience, most
problems can be traced back to two factors. Either the line was not ordered correctly, or
the line was ordered correctly, but not programmed correctly.
It would be wise to have your Omni TA128 ready to use before your phone company
comes to install your line. That way, you can enter the SPID to your line and confirm
that the ISDN network is responding properly before the phone installation people leave.
There is a simple Windows 3.x or Windows 95 utility provided by ZyXEL to help you
set-up the network. This set-up procedure needs to be done only once. The network
information will be stored in the non-volatile memory of the Omni TA128. Turning the
power off will not erase the information. The only time you will need to reconfigure your
line is when you perform a hardware reset on your modem or when you change options
on your ISDN line.

ZyXEL Configuration Manager Software

Along with your Omni TA128, you will find a disk labeled "ZyXEL ISDN Configuration
Manager". The Configuration Manager utility is an easy way to set up and configure
your Omni TA128 without the use of a terminal program. To install this software simply
run the setup file from the Run line. Refer to your Quick Start Guide for instructions on
using the ZyXEL ISDN Configuration Manager.

If your Omni TA128 is not going to be set-up by a computer running Windows, you will
need some type of terminal program that allows you to send AT commands to the
modem and receive responses from the modem.
