NetWAYS/ISDN – 2 Installation and First Steps 17
Local System Prerequisites
When creating a call destination for your Internet Service
Provider, please observe the following instructions:
Deactivate the network protocol IPX/SPX in the
NetWAYS/ISDN call destination settings.
Set the delay before an idle physical connection is
dropped to more than 10 seconds. At peak use times,
dialing up the connection to an Internet Service Provid-
er can take a while. By setting the idle timeout to a
longer delay, you can ensure that the connection set-up
is not aborted due to a timeout.
Certain Internet Service Providers require you to enter
specific proxy server and port settings. For details, con-
sult your system administrator or your Internet Service
Provider.
Make sure you enter the dial-in number, the user name
and the password correctly.
Configuring an Internet Call Destination
1. In the “Settings” menu, select “Call Destinations / New
call destination...”. The NetWAYS/ISDN wizard starts
and assists you in configuring an Internet connection.
2. In the “Type of network” dialog, select the option “Inter-
net”.
3. In the dialog that follows, select the type of Internet ser-
vice provider used.
4. Select the desired Internet Service Provider.
The Internet Provider Selection dialog appears only if
you have selected the option “Internet Providers with
Registration” or “Internet Providers without Registra-
tion” in the pre-selection dialog.
5. The name of the Internet Service Provider is entered for
you as the call destination name. You may use this sug-
gestion or edit the name as desired.
