An ISDN connection is an Internet connection established with a ISDN
modem card through a special phone line installed by the phone
company. ISDN connections are popular in Europe.
To add an ISDN connection, follow these steps:
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Add button.
Select ISDN connection from the
Device Type list, and click
Next.
Select the ISDN adapter from the pulldown menu. Then configure the
resources and D channel protocol for the adapter. Click
Next to continue.
If your ISP is in the pre-configured list, select it. Otherwise,
enter the required information about your ISP account. If you do not
know the values, contact your ISP. Click
Next.
On the Create Dialup Connection page, click
Finish.
After configuring the ISDN device, it appears in the device list as an
ippp device as
shown in Figure 6-4.
Be sure to click Apply to save the changes.
After adding the modem device, you can edit its configuration by
selecting the device from the device list and clicking
Edit. For example, when the device is added, it
is configured not to start at boot time by default. Edit its
configuration to modify this setting. Compression, PPP options,
login name, password, and more can be changed.
When the device is added, it is not activated, as seen by its
Inactive status. To activate the device, select it
from the device list, and click the Activate
button.
