2 Installation and First Steps
This chapter first explains how to prepare your local network for instal-
lation of the NT/MPRI. In the next sections the installation and opera-
tion of the NT/MPRI are described.
After installation, first familiarize yourself with operation of the
NT/MPRI and then establish a first ISDN connection to a reference rout-
er at the AVM Data Call Center (ADC) in Berlin. Instructions for this test
connection are also included in this chapter.
