You can connect up to four computers to the BT Inspiration Advantage +. These computers
require an Ethernet network interface card and TCP/IP, both installed and configured like the
first computer you connected. Do not, however, install Modem Monitor on these machines.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to an ETHERNET port on the
3. Turn on the computer.
If you need to connect more than four computers, you can connect the BT Inspiration
Advantage + to a third-party Ethernet hub. Refer to the User's Guide on the CD-ROM
for more information.

About the front panel lights
The Ethernet lights provide instant feedback on whether or not your computers are properly connected to the BT Inspiration
Advantage +. The states of the B1, B2, D and LINK lights however, should only be examined after you have configured the device.
ISDN B-channels Status
Once the BT Inspiration
Advantage + is configured,
these lights show the status
of the two ISDN channels,
called B1 and B2.
Green means a data call.
A flashing light means the
call is being established.
A steady light means the
call is connected and the
channel is in use.

BT Inspiration Advantage +. It does not matter which port a computer is connected to.
All ETHERNET ports are the same.
ISDN D-channel Status
D comes on at the same time as LINK
to indicate a properly configured line.
However, when the line is idle, many
networks automatically disconnect the
D-channel (turning off both D and
LINK) to conserve power. Both lights
will turn on just before B1 and/or B2
light up when the BT Inspiration
Advantage + makes or receives a call.
A flashing D-light indicates that AO/DI
is enabled, but that the BT Inspiration
Advantage + cannot establish the X.25
data link layer on the D-channel.

Ethernet Port Status
When lit, these lights indicate
that an Ethernet device is
properly connected to ports
E1, E2, E3, or E4. These
lights flash when data is sent
or received on the Ethernet
LAN. Light E4/C will blink red
if a transmission collision
occurs. This is a normal
occurrence that will
automatically resolve itself.
