[. . . ] Then click Next. 10 Click Finish. Macintosh Before you can connect your ISDN TA to the Internet or to another online service (such as your company's network), you must configure Open Transport PPP and your TCP/IP settings. Note: If your Macintosh uses System 8. 5, you can use your Operating System's Internet connection wizard, which will configure the settings discussed below. Configuring Open Transport PPP To configure Open Transport PPP: 1 2 Click the Apple Menu. When the "Modem" screen appears, click the Connect via dropdown menu. Then select the port that your ISDN TA is connected to. 3 Click the Modem drop-down menu and select your ISDN TA. Configuring TCP/IP To configure TCP/IP: 1 2 3 Click the Apple Menu. When the "TCP/IP" screen appears, click the Connect via dropdown menu and select PPP. If you were provided with a Domain Name Server address by your Internet Service Provider, type it in the "Name Server addr. " text box. If you were not given a Domain Name Server address, leave this box blank. 4 Leave all the other text boxes blank and close the "TCP/IP" screen. Connecting to Your Service Provider 1 Click the Apple Menu. 2 3 4 5 Click Registered User to select it. Type your login name in the "Name" text box and your password in the "Password" text box. Type the phone number that you dial to connect to your service provider or other online service in the "Number" text box. Click Connect. Note: For more information about special dialing procedures for making an AO/DI or MultiLink PPP connection, see the chapter "Dialing, Storing Phone Numbers, and Logging Calls. " Other Operating Systems If you are using another operating system, such as Windows 3. x, MSDOS, UNIX, or Linux, you must install and use third-party communications or terminal software. When you use this terminal software, you will have to use your ISDN TA's AT Command Set to configure your ISDN TA and set up the connection to your online service. For more information on the AT Command Set, see the chapters "Configuring Your ISDN TA Using AT Commands" and "AT Commands and S Registers. " DIALING, STORING PHONE NUMBERS, AND LOGGING CALLS Placing Calls Manually You can place calls manually using your ISDN TA's AT commands. To do so: 1 Open ControlCenter and click the Terminal icon. If you are not using ControlCenter, send AT commands to your ISDN TA by opening a different piece of communication software's terminal mode. For more information, see the software's users manual. 2 Type ATD followed by the number. (For example, type ATD14086542703 and press Enter. ) Note: If ATDT or ATDP is used, your ISDN TA will ignore the letter "T" or "P. " Dialing for MultiLink PPP With some Internet Service Providers or other online services, making a MultiLink PPP call may require dialing two phone numbers. If your service provider does not give you multiple numbers to make a MultiLink PPP connection, simply enter the telephone number as you would normally, using your communications application, such as Windows Dial-Up Networking or third-party terminal software. If your service provider requires that you use multiple numbers, enter the first number as you would normally. In the same text box, type & followed by the second number. Then complete the connection as you would normally. For example, type 14086542703&14086542704. Then finish setting up your connection as usual.
