Configuring Network Settings
You can configure the network settings on the ISDN gateway and check the network status by choosing
Home > Settings > Network A or Home > Settings > Network B
The ISDN gateway has two Ethernet interfaces, Port A and Port B. The configuration pages for the two interfaces look
and behave similarly, and so are described together. Differences will be noted as appropriate.

These settings determine the IP configuration for the appropriate Ethernet port of the ISDN gateway. When you have
finished, you must press Update IP configuration to make any changes take effect.
Field Field Description Usage Tips
Port enabled
Specifies whether the port is enabled or
disabled. When enabled, the port will allow
IP traffic to flow; when disabled, IP traffic
will not pass into or out of the ISDN gateway
on this port
Port A can never be disabled, as it is the
primary interface of the ISDN gateway.

Specifies a name for the ISDN gateway. Depending on your network configuration,
you may be able to use this host name to
communicate with the ISDN gateway,

Specifies whether the ISDN gateway obtains
its own IP address for this port automatically
via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration

automatic configuration.
Only manual IP configuration may be used
